QUOTE: Originally posted by Dave Farquhar I can speculate a little. Louis Marx released its first plastic train set in 1952. Unique Art was a competitor of Marx in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The passenger cars in this Schilling set (I looked it up) resemble those of Unique, although the Unique cars were made of pressed metal, I believe. It's more likely that Schilling copied the Unique design rather than acquiring Unique's tooling and adapting it for plastic. I'd be very surprised if this set is older than 1952.
