Looks like fun, makes me wish I had kept some of my windup Hornby. It also reminds me that's about how long I can run after a windup anymore.

Nice one Charlie!

May have to pull out my "Train in a Tin" to set on the table for the Holiday Season!?!?

Thanks guys.

The Bing wind up train was mint in the box.

The Marx Honeymoon train is also mint.  I have the box, but it needs a lot of work.

I have been buying some tinplate toys recently.

Including this Tootsie Toy set.

I also bought this Marx target shooting set.  I have repaired the box.  It is complete and the gun still works.
