:hey: Pure serendipity - I stopped at the local antique shop a little while ago - well, my wife did and brought me along - and bought a stamped metal toy train from the showcase. I thought it was a little pricey, but my wife encouraged me to buy it, so...

The proprieter wrapped it all up out of the case, and due to moving and surgeries I only just got around to unwrapping it yesterday. To my surprise, it has a wind-up locomotive and it works, right down to the bell that rings as it rolls.

One red locomotive, steam but shrouded, one matching caboose, two ore cars and two tank cars. One of the tank cars is lettered for Hafner Oil, and underneath it carries a manufacturer's plate by Hafner of Chicago, ILL.

Now I just have to find or make some track for it - it's slightly larger than O gauge.

Will try and post photos soonest.
WoW...What a find..!! Thumbsup
Looking forward to seeing some photos....

Wish I could come across something like that... Nope
Wow, I have never seen hafner before or voltamp sounds cool the old tinplate train weather they were electric, battery or windup powered they are still cool trains, I thought Hafner was o gauge? Do you have or know of some one who has lionel standerd or as the american flyer used to call wide gauge track? It may be standard/wide gauge trains. Keep us posted on what you find out.
I'd love to see some pictures too please. Big Grin
As soon as I can get both eyes to focus on the same thing at the same time... Thumbsup

Knowing what you've been going through I shouldn't have, but I admit I did laugh when I read your post. Icon_lol

I found the digital camera - at least I think it's the digital camera. :?
