Love your posts and research @Don McErlean 
Well a little more bottom feeding from the master catfish today ( lol )
( It has been said I have very long pockets and very short arms 
)
Just for fun and giggles , and because it was there and I have always wanted one .... a Little Wagner Walking Bear , sold under the Max Carl label in the early 1950's... He would look awesome in a big freight car lol
And coming via Dutchboy is what we think is a Charles Rossignol ( CR France) Train de Plancher ( floot train )
Unsure as to dating , as it is very simple, so obviously low end, my gut is telling me 30's but could quite possibly be a simple post war offering as well ?
Also via Dutchboy is a wonderful Erno crane car .. Erno was a Swiss company that arose after WWII to fill the gap in toys with the new found prosperity after the war and broken supply lines because of it ... In Many countries after the war this happened , even all the way over here in Australia . It is very much an indicator in just how big the influence the German and Western European countries had in providing the hub of toy manufacturing in the early half of last century.
Erno started in 1945 but after only 4 years was struggling and it was bought out by Buco ...
Last in the bargain box was via a new friend up in Brisbane who passed yet another little "Sakai/Daikin" B&O set to me .... this was a bigger set than the others I have and included the stop rail ( which is the main reason I grabbed it )
Not O , but "S" gauge
Very ratty box lid !
But such treasures underneath!
