Lima Loco

I'm not a big train fan but I do like this plastic Trans Pennine carriage our friends' little lad bought in an antiques shop.

It's by Lima of Italy. 

Is that a well known company?

    Yes, Lima is very well known. Probably the main Italian maker of model railways.
    I never had a proper train set when I was a boy, only a simple push-along set with red plastic tracks. My first major purchase after getting my first job was a real train set, a Lima diesel goods set. I still have it.

  2. Lima is now owned by Hornby. Where the two companies independently made the same loco, Hornby now use the Lima moulds as they are finer detailed.

  3. Even I've heard of Lima Woodsy, and I have almost no knowledge of model railways at all.

  4. I'll remember Lima now. I'm really not into trains. Never was.
