I cannot believe the amount of information you have dug up for us Bob!! Thank you so much for all of this research!! It will take many visits to your site to take it all in. I can’t give any feedback/corrections because I think you have learned more on the subject than all of us put together!

Looks like I have some youtube titles/descriptions to fix…

Thanks, Nick. As Buckman seems to be a universal name for old American engine, what I've done with my two Ryders is label them Ryder (was Buckman). That way they can still be found in searches.

A labor of love this must truly be!!!

Great work, Bob. Congratulations! I'll be looking for subsequent articles.

Thanks, Jim. I have most of the research done for the parts 2 and 3, but it may take me a while to get them written.

This multi-part article explores the very first American steam toys, their inventors, and the 1870 birth of the American steam-toy industry.

And Then There Were Toys: Part 1 (https://www.toyenginecollector.com/toys/article/and-then-there-were-toys-part-1)

I look forward to a discussion on this topic.
