A toy train sat on a shelf among flower pots. The shelf was outside, so the train was beginning to show rust. An engineer was painted seated at the window of the train. The wheels were painted on so the toy could not be run over track.

Herman Goering had two huge electric train layouts at his huge home. Entire basement & attic. I imagine they were built by slave labor. When things got tough he split & ran trains.

A fashion store on Sutter Street that is no longer in existence displayed a circus theme in the month of August. This toy train was part of that window exhibit.

In addition to scale models of actual railroads and towns, antique toys were also on display. Here was an old toy locomotive, made entirely of metal.

The DORFAN toy train is a rare and highly collectible toy train brand. This toy engine was on display in the San Diego Model Railroad Museum. This particular toy train engine included an attached coal car.
