Some VERY early locomotives. I am posting this for a friend, who is lookng for a model of Peter Cooper's Tom Thumb. It would be better in some standard scale. Mark Terribile Duke Of deNet hou5d!mat

I believe it is a British model (by Hornby?) in OO/HO (OO scale, HO track). It comes with appropriate coaches. Bachmann also has an early loco, but I can't recall which one. I don't think there are any commercial models of the Tom Thumb available. (Bachmann's might be "Best Friend of Charleston (sic?)" but I'm not sure) George Chaltas
