Fatman - just for the record - the cast iron Bing version

Fatman, the cast of Bing and Fandor nearly the same, but there is a little different.

Please look at the screw. This is not 100 percent, but the most.

Bing, more to the middle

Fandor, more to the window.

Huge Props to @Arne & @Robert S. Butler  for the info and pictures !!!

Its one of those things where AFTER you kind gents correctly identify it , a little bell rings in your head !!! For me its the yellow printed Germany on the cow catcher .. I am sure I had seen that before in that style and yep it was on a Fandor !

I had not seen this Electrical outline by Fandor before and it is so similar bodywise to the Bing ( as you mention)  with the broken/missing rear casting of the pantograph and a missing control knob that appear to me to be the main differences in the body it had me fooled LOL!

I am so grateful for all the help you guys ( and others here) give and all the knowledge that is shared

I will happily accept the "0 points " Arne , because the collective 1,000,000 point knowledge here is so **** appreciated by me personally and I am sure many others .

Now find me the manufacturer of the little green one you lot !!!

Its probably not Issmayer ..........

( lol !)

 ( edit ... and you cant say dam(n) here without gaining the censor frown and asterisks ? You guys have no idea how hard it is for an Aussie to comunicate without cursing )

Bing for BL produced Gauge 1 Claughtons marked LMS  in 1914 and 1919 through 1939 with the exception of 1924 according to Fuller's The Bassett Lowke Story.

Hello Lew,

Indeed Bing for BL produced this loco but on pictures it looks different from the loco from Daniel. Fatman mentioned Leeds; I first thought Leeds only made 0 gauge, but in the book by David Peacock on Leeds is mentioned "The catalogue for 1923 featured a second exact scale model of the LNWR Claughton which was also offered in gauge 1"; so it can be Leeds. Another possibility would be Jubb (of Sheffield). They made also a range of gauge 1 scale-like models, but I do not have a catalogue of Jubb.

Regards

Fred

Excellent analysis Fred, we have the same point of view.

This loco is not a Bing model, that is sure. I always sought to Leeds but they didn't produced many gauge one models and if finding documentation for Leeds O gauge is easy through the work of David Peacok it is harder for gauge one. I also sought to Jubb, unfortunately i do not have more catalog than you...

It is also possible that it could be a homemade model so I think i will never know more about it.

All my best wishes, Daniel

These very attractive trolleys were made by Lincoln Line of Chicago, based on the American PCC streetcar. They feature plastic bodies with extensive decals to create the doors and windows, and a metal floor. A trolley pole is added on the roof. They're floor toys, but having recently acquired a second one (the green one seen here) I've been thinking about retrofitting some trucks as the size is pretty good for O gauge. I've not been able to find much information about Lincoln Line out there, although they are covered in Kurt Resch's Collector's Guide to Bus Toys & Models, which advises they were made in the 1960's.
