Q: Can you tell me who made this train and how old it is? It's marked with an "M" in a triangle and the words "Made in Japan."

A: Your toy train was made by Mitsuhashi & Co. of Tokyo, Japan. The company made lithographed tin mechanical toys and toy cars, trains, trucks, and other vehicles in the 1950s and '60s. Value of your train set: about $30 a car. The engine is worth more.
