American OO Today, Episode 4: Models Available in 1938

UPDATE: This video as will be quickly seen has gone corrupt, the video size ratio is wrong (elongated). It may still be viewed here, but I have hidden it from YouTube, and unfortunately I can’t find the original file to update what you see now (end of update).

Lionel introduced their OO line in 1938. However, regular readers certainly know that they were not the first maker of American OO models. This short video features in operation a cross section of models that were on the market in 1938 by makers other than Lionel, in particular Scale-Craft and Nason, with one Lionel car as a bonus.
