But no matter on which side of the Second World War they were made, all toy trains are generically referred to by collectors as "tinplate," a reference to the tinplated wheels found on most of the early electric trains.
This is especially noticeable in prewar toy trains, many of which are so out of proportion to reality that, if they were full sized, they would topple and derail at the very first curve.
