The Golden Years of Tin Toy Trains: 1850-1909
Author: Paul Klein Schiphorst
Publisher: New Cavendish Books; (July 2003)

The last decades of the 19th century and the early 20th century in Germany produced some of the most beautiful and inventive tin toys ever, leading rightly to the designation of a Golden Age. From such famous names as Bing and Marklin to lesser-known makers such as Rock & Graner, every aspect of life was copied in miniature, and none more so than the railway in all its forms. Rack railways and tunnels, buffet carts and passengers, elaborate lights and decorative stations, all reflect the engineering achievements, or fashions and architecture of the era.

The Golden Age of the Tin Toy Train is and will undoubtedly remain the most complete presentation of such material ever gathered together. Originally based on Paul Klein Schiphorst's magnificent collection, the book has grown over a five-year period to include some 1,000 images garnered from the foremost tin toy collectors in the world.
