Looks like Warren is getting better along with the rest of the world than some Republicans I know. Railroads are good here too...one can move tons freight with a few gallons of gas and without the diesel pollution. Warren seems to have the right idea.
Nice figures. It looks like it has wheels too? Do the figures propel the whole thing?
ReplyDeleteHi Joey. It is actually a toy train piece, and I am guessing one of the earliest. It has no markings or manufacturer. I'm guessing 1900, as the first electric train sets were 1890-1900.
