We have two sets of vintage miniature trains for sale.
They were made in the late 1940's. We were told that there were only 36 made.
One of the sets has a tag with #36 on it. The G-10 was produced for
indoor Department Store use during the holidays and are slightly smaller than
the G-12 which was produced for outdoor use. They originally were powered by
electric motor and a drive shaft to the rear truck.
One set (completely restored and converted to
internal combustion) has an 8 HP Briggs, electric start (run only once 10
years ago) . The other set (sorry, no photos) has had the drive
removed during restoration. All parts except the original electric
motor are here. Train wheels from this set were in the process of
being replaced during the restoration which was never completed. Cast
(but unmachined) wheels for this train are included.
Each set has three cars and one locomotive and will hold 12
small kids plus engineer. Observation Car and Locomotive are 16.5" wide and
8' 5" long. Remaining cars are 6' 6". All of the cars are the 16.5" wide, 17"
high. Locomotive cockpit is a bit tight at 14" wide so larger engineers will
need to sit above the normal seat location. Both sets have great
looking paint and have been stored indoors so there is no rust.
One set is $8500. One set is $7500.
Ask about 10" gauge track. There's enough portable
track to make one good sized oval with a little bit left over.
In addition we have two RARE stainless steel cars .
$2,000 for both. OR $16,000. for all.
