McCoy Trains

With all the chatter about McCoy trains, I thought I would post a couple of pics to remind everyone of how wonderful they are. A collector friend of mine just sent me about 500 of them thus I will post hundreds of pics in the next few weeks leading up to Christmas detailing these wonderful toys (and they are). Just look at this handcar in standard gauge. How can you possibly look at it and be sad or angry? It oozes happy.

PS Christmas is coming, be kind to one another (or you'll get a lump of coal in your stocking!)

Coulda Woulda Shoulda

I know of only one collection (James) that has one of these. Everyone that coulda shoulda woulda bought one of these when they were offered probably wishes they had.

I wonder how many would get sold at 75 bucks today?

I like this. It's simple, straightforward and just plain cute. I'd like it (believe it or not) to look more like the Lionel Mickey and Mini handcar. Yes, I know Pridelines made a standard gauge Mickey handcar. It is really nice and goes for a ton of cash on eBay and the like. I just think that the above is ALOT of toy for 75 bucks. And I know from looking on eBay that anyone that bought this for 75 bucks definitely got their $$$ back. I like simple and this fits the bill: it will warm up any train table on a cold wintery day.

What else did George Templin make?
