| There were trains from all over the world. On the table here are trains by American Flyer, Hafner, Bing, Hornby, Marx, and Wyandotte, as well as scratchbuilt and kitbashed engines by Marc Horovitz and Mike Horner. At the lower left is a clockwork motor made out of a clock. It will run for 6 minutes but has yet to be converted to a locomotive. | |||||||||
