Last week i had the opportunity to buy for a fair price this set of LR trains, it dates from 1938, an original catalog from may 1938 was included with the set.
The french brand LR is the third of the most famous french toy trains manufacturer after JEP and HORNBY. The major problem with those nice trains is the flacking paint due to a direct painting on steel and very often have zamack parts prone to disintegrate.
Anyway this set even if not perfect is still a nice one to add to the collection.
As usually have a nice tinplate weekend, Daniel
