Atypical in form this toy is unique in many ways! Normally toy manufacturers just altered a passenger car by adding a few accoutrements thus transforming into a trolley. Both end platforms are quite unique as well as the rear entry w/step as opposed to the normal side entries. The bowed roof further adds to the character of this toy along with the conductor/driver standing on the front platform. The twin horses are finished in white with black & red trappings. The highly stenciled trolley is finished with yellow & red sides and a black roof w/dark blue & yellow clerestory. Overall there is some paint enhancement to the horses most notably by the wire yoke, probably detached and re-soldered at some point in time. The trolley itself shows paint restoration to the sides mostly to the red finish.

Item Dimensions: 15 -1/4" L.
