Yes, it’s a B2. (Did Seki/Stronlite have a version of it?)
Strange that I’d never heard of Ellemsee, and I’m impressed by so many of their models. Hard to believe the Brighton Belle MUs were cutting-edge modern when that set came out…
Number one place I start when I’m trying to learn about manufacturers I never heard of: Index of Manufacturers
The TCA Western manufacturer articles are a very useful resource, I heartily agree. According to their article on Seki, the company had a few OEM brands, Stronlite being one of them. One can definitely see resemblance between Seki’s Japanese style passenger cars, and the ones produced by Sakai. Likely a significant part of where the association between the two companies comes from.

What an absolutely delightful assortment of locomotives and cars! 
Thanks for that wonderful link!
See the thread in Classic Toy Trains. More information.
Here’s a dinky, cheap little O gauge clockwork “set” (not sure if the two cars came out of the same set, since they don’t match) I picked up at the ‘Great Train Extravaganza’ show in Albany back in 2023.
It’s not in great shape, but the price was right. The locomotive does run, though it didn’t at the time I got it. One of the two boxcars has been re-gauged to S (definitely not original). The boxcar lithography is completely identical between the two cars, aside from one detail- the presence of two letters within the ‘globe’ logo on the sides of the car.
The locomotive is marked “Made In Western Germany”. The tender is marked “Made In Germany Western Zone”. The boxcars are both lithographed with “Made in US Zone Germany” on one end.
The boxcars have that globe-shaped logo, which I associate with another manufacturer, Distler
I was not able to find pictures of any Distler trains that match perfectly, but Distler did make trains of a similar sort with the same coupler design.
But when Becky shared her Beckh train, I noticed the logo on the sides of her engine matches the logo on mine! Could this be our make? Looking at pictures on this web page, I don’t see any exact matches for the cars, but I do see a locomotive that looks just like mine, and some passenger cars that look extremely similar in dimension to my boxcars.
So… I think I have a Beckh! A big thanks to Becky for inadvertently helping me solve my mystery!

There is a very detailed explanation of Seki Electric Works and Sakai Seisakusyo on the TCA website.
“The Ultimate Vintage Model Railways Book” published in 2001 by Tatsuya Taguchi, written in Japanese, boxed Horizontal A4 size hardcover 192 pages is also useful.
Appeared manufacturers Japan: Masudaya-Boueki, Seki-Denki (Stronlite), Asahiya, Chiyoda-Keiki, Kawai-Mokei, Nishio-Otokichi, Takeoka-Shoji, Katsumi-Mokeiten (KTM/International Model Products, Max Gray, Ken Kidder), Sakai(I), Sakai(II), Aster, Kumata (KMT) Foreign: Bing, Märklin (Maerkln), Lionel, Bassett-Lowke, Paya, Elettren, Micro-Metakit,
Many railroad models over the past 100 years the author has collected, have been introduced with photographs, manufacturers’ catalogues, advertisings in magazines and other materials. Adding, the texts said situation of the model railroad. Since O-gauge was the world’s standard before and after World War II, most of the toy trains for boys and the fine models for enthusiasts were so. This book should notify the readers about the splendor of train models.
By the way, it is important to note here that Sakai had two companies. In addition to Sakai Seisakusyo, there was the Sakai Model Shop in Osaka. They manufactured O-scale brass models of Japanese and US prototypes. It seems that the models were not exported.
I have a couple Tokyo Endo items I imported a couple years ago, but they need serious repairs which I have not yet undertaken. Japanese O gauge is of significant interest to me, I hope to one day have more of it.

You know, in addition to being interesting toy trains being marked as they are they’re also unique post-WW2 occupation artifacts! If I remember right the occupation didn’t officially end until the formal peace treaty between the Western Allies and the new West German government in 1951.
(Yes, I know there’s been an American military presence in Germany since that time but it’s not an occupation force, it’s a NATO force.)
The following book provides detailed information about collecting from the era when toys and models were still undifferentiated. I’d like to introduce it here as it has not been mentioned in these forums.
The Trains on Avenue de Rumine

The superb work continues the trend set by ‘A Century of Model Trains.’ In this book every railway item of the worked renowned Giansanti Coluzzi Collection (numbering over 3,000) is illustrated in full colour. It is not only one extraordinary man’s collection, but also the history of model trains from 1880-1980 showing how the toy developed into the scale model with a thoroughness never evidenced in any previous book.
Count Giansanti Coluzzi is both one of the world’s great connoisseurs in the field and the founder and continuing inspiration for Fulgurex, a company that has manufactured and distributed the finest model trains in gauge 1, gauge 0, HO and N in the post-war years. Thus this unique blend of collector and producer has enabled the book to illustrate a range of trains unequalled in any othe publication.
Fulgurex and the collection are housed in Count Giansanti’s extraordinary museum/home on Avenue de Rumine, Lausanne, Switzerland. This book will bring all the magic of this collection to the reader and together with ‘A Century of Model Trains’ will form the most complete reference work in this internationally established field of interest and collecting.

The following is a book review that appears to have been published in the New York Times on January 25, 1984.
The following advertisement was published in the Japanese magazine “Hobby of Model Railroading (commonly known as TMS)” from the February to September 1983 issues.
It appears that a French version of this book has also been published (Jean-Claude Fournet, Trains Jouets et Modèles: La Collection Giansanti Coluzzi et L’Intégrale Fulgurex).
Also, his car toy collection was featured in the October 1997 issue of “ANTIQUE TOY WORLD Magazine” and was reported to be on sale. His name in this book is “Count Antonio Giansanti-Coluzzi.”
Love it Becky! A LOT better than a lot of the (stuff) on the Tube lately!
Katsumi (KTM: official website) and Tokyo Endo Rail Co. (TER: official website) still exist today. Here, I will introduce the 3-Rail O scale toy products that they manufactured and sold from the late 1940s to the early 1960s, divided into freight trains, passenger trains, and tracks. Please note that my collection is something I came across by chance, and is not comprehensive.
A 0-4-0 steam locomotive and a group of freight cars
Locomotive driving wheel diameter 24mm, wheelbase 44mm. Tender wheel diameter 19mm, wheelbase 55mm. Weights 667g and 140g. Overall length excluding coupler 293mm, width (cab roof) 65mm, height (smoke stack) 85mm.
They have a “Made in Japan” label on them, so they were probably intended for export.
You have a very nice collection of pieces. I quite like the 0-4-0.
I have an EB557 in poor condition that I am intending to restore. I also have unpainted bodies for a boxcar and a gondola, and a blue version of the gondola with brakeman’s cabin that you show in black.
They are not particularly in a state to be photographed at this time, unfortunately.

Well, you said “TOY” trains from outside the USA so here’s some more fun stuff. 
My much loved Modern Toys of Japan “Silver Mountain” 3525
My Tomy battery operated trains. This is what you do when you have a spare bed in your hotel room and you’re 10,000 miles from home for a month at a time!
I only have 5 sets in my collection now and here are my favorites:
