New styles for your favorite classic tin railcars.
Turn your common or poor-condition cars into conversation pieces with
FauxToys Railroad Wraps

 

Railroad Wraps for have a hard, high-gloss surface with the look of lithographed tin. They are produced from entirely new, original artwork for unbelievable crispness and clarity. By wrapping around common or poor-condition cars, they will inexpensively provide the collector or operator with new designs and extra types of cars similar to those in the original classic toy trains lines. Most wraps can be applied permanently or temporarily (slide on and off). Though they are durable, water-resistant and scratch-resistant, they are designed for display and operation by adult collectors, not for outdoor play or hard play by children.

See how easy it is
to convert a worn-out ho-hum tin car into a shiny new centerpiece for your Marx train.
