American Style Magnet Trains

I had a friend comment about why all of the kids magnet type of toy trains were modeled after those in the UK and EU. We found some for Christmas that look (more or less) 100% American.

The steam engine is pretty good, but the big diesel electric is definitely 100% USA and ready to kick some tank engine butt. (all made in china of course).

They are Imaginarium brand from Target. See Pix.

















BTW, they are running on our Step 2 train table with integral track.
