Hi,
I would highly recommend you find a copy of the April 1990 issue of Classic Toy Trains. It has a very lengthy and interesting article about General Trains Inc. and gives you all the information you could ever possibily want to know!

The following is from the tinplate FAQ Part 1 site on the web:

GENERAL TRAINS
Founded by Harry Stearns in Chicago, IL, it produced a model of the Union Pacific M-1000 and a two rail standard gauge track system from 1933-34.
