    A 1957 TV ad. Why don't I get cool stuff like this with my breakfast cereal? :)

    Kusan. I remember that. The reason we don't get them in our cereal now is they don't offer it with flax and bran cereals.

    The narrative dances around the topic, but I'm thinking that they were very likely push toys only.

    That kid needs to stand a little closer to the track ...... :eek:

    At 26-27 seconds they clearly state "push toys".

    There is an ALCo logo on the engine's nose, but it looks like there is a RR name on it's side. Trying to think of what companies had that paint scheme. Soo Line, L&N and ?
