Wyn Toys were sold only in Australia and New Zealand, the main products being pressed steel road vehicles, supplemented, in 1954, by a tinplate clockwork train set. The set illustrated below comprises the loco, tender and passanger coach complete with a circle (four pieces) of track. The loco and coach are lettered Australian Flyer.
