General Models Corp. Street Car

Classic Toy Trains Forum

Hello,
A friend of mine gave me a GMC Streetcar today.

I have never heard of this company before.
The trolley has a yellow plastic body,red plastic roof,and some weird kind of motor,(no gears) it runs on three rail O gauge track.
It is in great condition and has the original box (also in great shape).
If anyone has info on this company and the products it made and a value on this item please let me know.

Thanks,
Carl T.

I have a General Models Corp. Switcher (SW2 type) for 3 rail that’s “O Gage” and “Tin Plate” printed on the original box. I can’t tell you anything about it either, except that I’ve had it since 1958 and got it second hand. Some of this old stuff is floating around and alot of the people who made it are not here anymore to tell us about them.
