    Description

    After retiring from the Navy, my dad worked for the federal government from 1958 to 1972.  He frequently traveled to Europe (location seldom disclosed) for his job.  He had HO scale trains, but brought home from his European trips the odd toy train, now and then.  I honestly don't remember when this train came home, but it was during the '58 to '72 time period.  The label says the train was made in GDR, which, between 1949 and 1989, was German Democratic Republic (East Germany)....... Hey, I learned not to ask.
    The box has moved through a couple households since 1972, but I'm getting to be an old lady and it's time to let go of this.  The train set appears to be complete, with 8 curved and 2 straight pieces of plastic track.  I laid the track out for the photo, but didn't connect the pieces for fear of breakage.  I see no breakage of any of the trains or track.  There is a whistle and a wind-up key.  I didn't attempt to wind the train, so can't verify that it works, but Dad was the only person who touched it, so it's highly likely it works.  The track measures 1000 mm by 730 mm (approx 39" X 29"), per the box.  The train itself appears to be in new condition.  The box has some wear and tear.
