Yonezawa of Japan made a vast array of tinplate toys including a huge variety of road vehicles, space toys, robots, aircraft and trains, together with the Diapet range of 1/40 die cast road models (please see below). Some Yonezawa trains were floor toys, and some designed to run on track, both traditional and channel.
For additional background information, with illustrations of the Diapet range, please refer to Daniel Beck's web site.
