Description

Vintage McCoy Standard Gauge TCA 24
th
Convention Boston MA Caboose in its Original Box.
McCoy Manufacturing was a small American toy train producer based in Kent, WA, founded by Bob McCoy Sr. and his family.
McCoy was known for creating larger scale stamped steel trains, and was part of a group of modern era Standard gauge train manufacturers.
McCoy production differs from earlier vintage tinplate standard gauge production in its use of thicker steel and its use of silk screening processes, rather than lithography, decals, rubber stamps, or brass plates. McCoy had special relationships with the Train Collectors Association and the Toy Train Operating Society, creating many Standard gauge convention cars, club cars and locomotives for these organizations.  These cars utilized the regular McCoy all-steel construction with industrial enamel finish and silk screened artwork.
Between 1966 and 1981 and then between 1988 and 1998, McCoy manufactured a series of freight cars for the various divisions and chapters of TCA that hosted the National conventions each year.
