If you love these little toy trains that have been largely overlooked by the train collecting community
this CD is for you. It does not promise to show everything you might have but it is a good starting
point for the identification and evaluation of these trains. You are likely to be able to identify other items in your collection by comparing eccentric rods, bodies,
couplers, boxes, etc.
