Yup, right there on the website

Before there was a Moko-Lesney making toy cars, Moko was a mfg. of tin toys and such. It seems they made a small assortment of diecast trains, a steam loco and a 4-wheeled wagon in different colors.

That is a very unique find from your friend, catfordken. Looks a lot like a more primitive version of those Matchbox trains that were made in the '70s which I got a handful of them from my grandparents more than a decade ago.

"A lot of modellers out there who go to these train shows see broken HO stuff and go, 'This is useless' when, in reality, they can still be used for modeling whether it's as a prop on your layout or a cool project to make something old new again."
