That other post about the wooden trolley conversion reminded me about a wooden floor train I have. I picked it up in a RailRoad Museum near Ventura, CA back around 1998 or 1999. It's a wooden floor train with the initials STC on it. Everytime I search for info on it I come up short. Is anyone familiar with this, who made it, and what the STC stands for?

they were made by the Seaver Toy Company, Burbank, CA.
in business from 1946 - 1966.

Thanks Gary. Even armed with that info it's hard to find anything about sets they made.
after searching a bit more, i have a feeling sets were pretty basic. your pictures show their diesel locomotive, maybe an express reefer, and passenger cars, +?. here is a steam freight set i found...
locomotive, tender, maybe now a boxcar and caboose.
and some other wooden toys...
a firetruck
and a crane.
this was likely a very small business; perhaps just a family.
fun stuff.
cheers...gary
Cool stuff. I found a scan of a cover of a catalog.
I'd like to see inside it.
