A significant part of my youth revolved around Cox (and also Testors) engines. Noisy buggers. Of course, I had the PT-19, which I crashed numerous times and managed to piece back together and keep it flying. My friends and I would end up combining our wrecks into a few usable planes. I also had a 70's street van with the same mechanism as the dune buggy. I had forgotten about the little pull-start. I was looking for Cox info a few years ago, and found this supplier who apparently bought the inventory from Estes:

I also had an O.S. Max .15 that I used with a Ringmaster Jr. I've seen ads for O.S. live steam locomotives in older Live Steam and Outdoor Railroading magazine, but don't know if they're still active.

Fun stuff that was easy for kids to work on, with an appropriate amount of risk involved.

An .049-powered locomotive. Hmmmm...
