Cops (admins), can car maker made trains be added? I know, I know, it'll be no. But like Renault and Bugatti made trains, or at least designed them for a while.

BTW, I ordered a Lionel 4-8-2 Berkshire on eBay, and I have been trying to learn as much as possible about Berkshire type engines. Does anyone here know if Berkshires (4-8-2s) were made outside of the U.S. shores? As far as I can tell, they were made in US only by ALCO, and were mainly used on the Nickel Plate Road.

I believe the movie that carries my name has a train in it too

had you seen this one I posted some time ago.?

So far I haven't received any feedback. My username is "jetset".

Here are the main big players in toy trains (starting from largest, to smallest)
Lionel, LLC
MTH (Mike's Train House for older trains)
Atlas/Atlas O
K-Line (accessories, frieght and passenger cars)
Bachmann/Bachmann Spectrum
LGB
Lego Trains.

I think this is either LGB, Bachmann or Bachmann Spectrum or possibly Marx. What is your feedback from Trains.com? And are you are a "guest" or user?

Hmmm, not really. Maybe Bahmann? Or Bachmann O guage depending on size.

Thanks for the tips. I just informed trains.com forums.

One more thing; in the cardboard cover there's a small manufacturer logo and I think it says O.B. or B.0. Does that ring a bell ?

Like I mentioned earlier the train is spring-operated. During many decades the spring has tired a bit and it can't pull all carriages anymore In fact the only way to get the train move is by adjusting the spring on the floor and then let it go.

Oh, and if you want second opinions you could get on as a guest on the Trains.com forums (you want to use the "Classic Model Trains" section).

Raul1983, I am not 100% sure but I'm guessing they are from around 1945, (and if in good shape, worth a lot of cash) and not American made (or a very small US company). The Big Three train sellers in the early 1900s were Lionel, American Flyer and Ives (even though Ives passed on in the Great Depression), as for this brand I was thinking may Bachmann/Bachmann Spectrum (but I specialize in Lionel and MTH trains from 1940 on). Now, it is either from around 1920 or was very much behind other companys. Other competitors in the early 50s already had smoke and whistles, moving parts and pistons and were hauling like 10 or more car trains. I can confirm it is not Lionel/Ives/American Flyer. Might be LGB also. But save it, get it looked over by an antique specialist and if it is worth something, either keep it or sell it. But the steam engine is a 0-2-0 steam engine, probably British, and the passenger car is British (95% sure on this). Have you run it yet?
