sncf231e Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Founded in 1876 TootsieToy is one of the oldest toy companies in the USA. They made many toys including a large number of diecast toys like cars and trains. Here in this video I present some TootsieToy Railroad Sets made from 1932-1950.

goldfish Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 The Broadway Express with its Loewy stream liner seems particularly suitable for this treatment. Regards, Michael 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
5050 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Fascinating. I wonder if they were the inspiration for the Dinky Toys A4 train?  PS - loved the music, an excellent Tango (which I never really mastered!) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sncf231e Posted August 11, 2023 Author Share Posted August 11, 2023 The TootsieToyTango 😉  I do not know whether TootsieToy inspired Dinky Toys. There were many manufacturers that made this type of small (size N gauge) pushtrains in al sorts of material (tinplate, diecast, plastic...).

sncf231e Posted August 12, 2023 Author Share Posted August 12, 2023 This Reference Guide was made by Donald Troost (Dutch like me) who also made a Lone Star Reference Guide. I bought it from him at a swap meet some 10 years ago. Since then I have not seen him again and I have also not seen this book again; the edition I have is from 2011 and he was then still adding to it. Â I looked in the book for your green locomotive and red passenger car, but it is not not mentioned or shown. Â Regards Fred Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
