Check this out..
WOW; Very cool! Thanks for posting I have been checking out some of the other video's to.
Neat-o!
I got one of the side panels for the Toonerville trolley but it would be cool to have the whole thing 
Looks like a very entertaining toy.
A favorite of mine, too! I'd LOVE to see MTH (Lionel Corporation Tinplate) make a reproduction of this classic, as well as the several tin accessories that complemented the trolley way back when. In fact, in might even be fun to put a bit of new tech (e.g.,sounds....trolley bell, commentary from the bearded guy, people laughing, squeaking springs/chassis, etc., etc.) to the mech.
I'd be in.....how about you?

I would be in for one of those too! That would be a fun piece to run.
Picked this one up about 25 years ago

Those "add ons" you are refering to were not from "way back when" but in fact only date from the the 1980's. Ward Kimble the former Disney Animator, horn player and train enthusiast did the art work for it in the style of Fontaine Fox. The station and flat figures were made by Rich Art of Escondido CA. There was also a set of small turntables to reverse the car on a straight track and a trailer with a cast"Aunt Eppie" figure. Rich Art also made HO tin Toonervilles with out the wobble that fit on Bachmann handcar mechs. I cast about 15 of the Aunt Eppie figures in resin for Dick Meyer and Butch Alvarado about 5 years ago before the mold gave out.
