I wish the original streamlined cars survived; they reminded me of the tin mechanical cog/incline railway toys made by Technofix and Marx in the late 50s and 1960s..I have a few sets displayed today! Wink

The vintage streamlined railcars remind me of those wind-ups from Technofix and Marx, so long ago! Very Happy
