The other day there was a thread that went askew and turned into a toy train chat.
I happen to have some of my train stuff at my office and figured I'd take a few photos for comment and consideration.
This first photo is my latest prize. It is a limited production flat car that was made in conjunction with a bakery in Germany. The train car includes a cookie with an image of a train engine painted on it in icing. This car was produced in one run, about 8 years ago(?). I recently found this one for sale, I picked it up from a guy in Norway. The cookie is has a crack in it, but it is still in the original wrapper. The flat car is 1/32nd scale, which is also called Museum Gauge, and roughly equivalent to "G" scale, or Garden scale.
Also photographed in the picture is my little Z-scale 2-6-0 locomotive, with coal tender and an attached "Christmas" car. Inside the clear plastic Christmas ornament at the rear of the tiny train is another Christmas car from a differnt year.
