Buying Antique Toy Trains: Voltamp and Carlisle & Finch



I have been a train enthusiast since I received my first train at age 5. For years, I collected HO model trains but always longed for the rugged toy trains that were displayed at malls and firehouses around the Baltimore area during Christmas. The day I discovered prewar toy trains in my grandparents' attic, I fell down the antique toy train rabbit hole. More recently, I've started buying Voltamp trains and Carlisle & Finch models. These brands were among the early pioneers of electric toy trains before Lionel rose to prominence.
