Nomura, also known as TN (Toys Nomura), was formed in 1923, and became one of the most prolific tin toy makers in early post war Japan, making a huge range of toys, perhaps the most well known being their robot figures. Nomura switched to die cast toys in the early/mid 1970s and, in 1992, became a part of Hasbro, at the time the largest toy maker in the world. Illustrated below are just a few of the range of tin toys of interest to the toy train enthusiast.
