I will be listing a large quantity toys over the next few weeks. Please watch my other listings for more tin toys. This is a very nice and early toy train set.
This fantastic set features a very nice cast iron clockwork locomotive, an orange 999 tin tender, and a beautiful tin NEW YORK EXPRESS passenger car! The 6 long locomotive has an all cast iron painted body and is a windup clockwork steam type engine with cowcatcher and original rear connecting peg. It still has great original paint with very little wear and still retains much of the original gold highlighting on the bell. Very unusual orange 4 long tin 999 tender with both couplers. All original 5.5 long NEW YORK EXPRESS 515 tin passenger coach car. It has lithographed details and still retains the original couplers. This set also comes with 4 pieces of original tin O gauge track, which is still quite shiny, that measures 19.5 in diameter when assembled. The clockwork still works on the locomotive. It all comes in the original box that still has some of the original separating inserts. The label on the end has a great image of the New York Express pulling into the station platform with people waiting to board! It states NEW YORK EXPRESS and MADE IN U.A The box measures 14.75" x 7.75" x 2.5. CONDITION: This clockwork windup locomotive still works well. There are no missing parts or breaks to any of the cars or locomotive. The original paint is in excellent condition with only minor wear at the edges. There is some light scratching to the tender and car as shown, and the tender has some slight wavy bends to the sides.
