Scotty’s Auction is pleased to present a large selection of miniature railroad trains by Lionel, KMT, American Flyer, and Marx. These trains are a legend of a journey back in time when children dreamed of finding that special train set under the Christmas tree. These trains have inspired a new generation of fans and allow enthusiasts to build the layouts of their dreams. The legend of those trains is a tribute to America’s most enduring toy industry.
The owner of this collection is a retired firefighter who tirelessly pursued this hobby. Now he is giving you the chance to purchase these true scale models. Every child would try to convince Dad by listing all the reasons why life could not go on without a train set.
With more than 400 items including locomotives, freight and passenger cars, track, scenery, transformers, action accessories, and vintage advertising, these products have chugged, tooted, and buzzed around tracks in homes all over the world.
There is an excitement and fascination around these toys that seem to remain a mystery. These models and accessories are all authentic and include Prewar and Postwar, plastic, tin, and all the classics. These model toys can be handed down by Dad or Grandfather and represent a way to enjoy this magic.
There are just too many items to list. This will be a two-part Auction with the second half sold on a date to be determined.
