Looking for information about a non-powered toy train set that I had back in the mid/late 1960s. Working from foggy memory, here's what I recall about the set.
Set came in a shallow box (1 to 1-1/2" deep) that was about 12x14 with a "realistic" train scene on the lid; the bottom portion was plain cardboard. Cars and engines were European (German?) outline, approximately N scale (perhaps half-HO or TT). Made of molded plastic with a fairly high level of detail for a toy - glazed windows and added railings - no motors. Rolling stock consisted of a steam engine, 2 or 3 freight cars (including a Shell tank, IIRC), a diesel or electric loco, and one or two passenger cars. Came with a circle of track - molded of a hard gray plastic; when assembled, the circle was about 18" diameter. The box contained numerous buildings, scenic items, and a tunnel, all made of tab and slot cardboard.
The set was purchased in northern Indiana around 1966 from a store that specialized in closeouts and odd lots, so I'm guessing that it was either an obscure European brand, or at least something that was not commonly found in the US.
Anybody have an idea what it was?
