ROB'S MATE'S MYSTERY ALPINE EXPRESS

Woodsy,

I visited a friend’s house recently, and we played “Show and Tell” with some of his vintage toys, all saved from childhood. I thought MBC readers would like to see pix

Mystery Alpine Express: This is a big beauty, with an almost mint box, which dates from the early 1960s I think. Released by The Automatic Toy Company of Staten Island, and I don’t think it’s a rebox, but it could be a Technofix German import? 

The tracks cross underneath the Alpine mountain, and the tram comes out on different tracks every time - thus the mystery. And the thing still works like a charm!
