Lindberg model trains

[Brian Austin]

In the early 1960s Lindberg produced a small line of HO model trains.  A switcher and an assortment of freight cars were offered, as were freight car trucks that were exceptionally free-rolling.  Reportedly Lindberg were among the first to employ Delrin in model products.

I recall seeing those kits on hobby shop shelves.....but at a little higher than car kits.......cars won out.

I well remember the trucks. They were the hot setup for a time, and still function fine.

They also produced a line of 1/87 scale vehicle kits to go along with their trains.

Not a lot to the kits, 8 or 10 parts  if I remember correctly....

( 4 of those parts were tires ...)

I was presuming people here would be more familiar with the Mini Lindys than the trains.  ?
