Ten brass inter-urban models and motors, Japanese made, imported by Suydam, plus some parts. Models appear to be mainly Pacific Electric, Los Angeles Railway and we did see a Chicago North Shore car. Also some brass highway truck models to augment the layout scene. In original packaging, and many retain the manufacturer-supplied decals, which can be difficult to find. Beautiful equipment for the discerning modeler. (Image)
