The American Toy Train

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This chronological history of the toy train celebrates the wares of all prominent North American toy train manufacturers from the turn of the century to the present, with special focus on the big three: Lionel, American Flyer, and Marx. All scales are discussed, and the trains themselves are richly illustrated with specially commissioned colour photos, archival black-and-white shots, and classic print advertisements.
