Rare
Buddy L "Yard Trains"
mix and match
Background info from
tcawestern.org:
One of the most
successful lines of toy vehicles ever is Buddy L, introduced by Fred Lundahl and
named for his son. In 1910, Fred Lundahl started the Moline Press Steel Company
in East Moline, Il. He provided quality pressed steel parts to the truck and
farm machinery industry. In his spare time, he would make steel vehicles for his
son Arthur Brown Lundahl. The toys, originally made only as special items for
his son, caught the attention of other children and their fathers. The Moline
Pressed Steel Company began making and selling the model vehicles too, using the
same heavy-gauge steel that they used in the manufacturing of parts for
automobiles and trucks. The immediate and soaring popularity of these sturdy and
durable toys resulted in Moline Steel shifting exclusively to the manufacture of
these models within a few years. These vehicles that Mr. Lundahl made for Arthur
and his friends caught on so well in the neighborhood and beyond, that in 1921
he began to devote his entire career to toys as evidenced by the new name of the
company created for his vehicle loving son who was also known as Buddy L.
Through the mid 1900’s
and beyond, the Buddy L name continued to signify why it is referred to as the
toughest toys on wheels. With a heavy concentration of steel and wooden
vehicles, Buddy L not only became a familiar household name, but stood for
quality and assured all parents and grandparents who purchased products for
their children and grandchildren that they could trust Buddy L for years to
come.
Buddy L produced a wide
variety of vehicles, from trains and construction equipment to delivery and
emergency vehicles to Ford cars and trucks. All had moving parts, some had
removable cargo, and a few were very elaborate, including features such as
working hydraulics. The early vehicles averaged from 20 to 26 inches and were
sturdy enough for a child to ride. This indoor/outdoor utility insured Buddy L a
place in toy vehicle history.
