Train Arriving at Platform 2

Its been a while since I got onboard with my train hobby, diecasts and space have distracted me, but while looking online for choice Redlines, I sometimes spot other nice oddities. One such is the Lucky Toys Diesel Loco.

About 10" long, its a lovely simple friction drive toy. Lucky normally make cars, so this is probably an early sixties/ late fifties release. I also saw a red version online called the Red Flyer or somesuch.

What attracted me to it is the classic 'Canadian Pacific' style from the huge transcontinental lines and the similarity to the old Triang sets with the wonderful painted illustrations in the catalogues showing huge locomotives forging theough the Rockies, headlight blazing.

In complete contrast, I also picked up a collection of tiny trains, each part under an inch long and even smaller than the Lifebuoy Models (See here: https://projectswordtoys.blogspot.com/2020/11/a-trained-eye.html?m=1)

I'm not sure if the are gaming pieces, but they are well detailed for their size and link together with pegs.

The steam loco is accompanied by coaches, freight wagons, gondalas, tankers and a caboose.

There is roughly one of each type in four main colours with a couple of black parts. Clearly not a full set, but great little things. Anyone recognise them?
