The train is great. I like steam engines too but that Diesel would have been great as a kid. I am hoping to hear from you Otaco4me as I am researching a Canadian line of Toy Train Accessories which have collected a goodly number of. One even appeared in a French Language Eatons post war Catalogue. The maker looks like "MRA" Model Railroad Accessories which is in a circle mounted on a Maple Leaf which is the company logo for the Manufacturer. One piece has "Model Railroad Accessories Malton, Ontario" on it and they all look to be Mixed Metal & Wood construction Wartime/Postwar production. All accessories but no trains. Passenger platforms "Toronto", Water towers, Bridges and some other Billboards & Platforms, Siding structurestres. This is not home made although it is all hand construction. I would really value your opinion if you think you might know something about it. Hope to hear from you. Thanks Lee. email me if you ike - dedlea@shaw.ca
