The History of Wooden Toy Trains

Wooden locomotives became popular playthings in the mid-nineteenth century as modern railway transportation expanded rapidly across the world. Toymakers carved engine bodies, boilers, and wheels out of sturdy woods like beech or maple to withstand years of active play. Early designs used simple peg connectors and pulled along floors on smooth wooden wheels.
