Railroad Tokens

I'm a real sucker for steam trains and railways in general. If we move into a house with a dry basement or decent sized loft I think it's very likely I'll start a model railroad. Until then I'll have to be content with my efforts to put together a modest collection of railroad specific tokens, ideally from that golden period between the wars.

To date I have a grand total of three but I'm hoping to add more. If anyone has any to trade I'd be interested to hear from you. I should make clear though that I'm looking for tokens explicitly on the railroad theme, not transport tokens in general, which are mainly toll related.

To give y'all a clearer idea of what I mean here the total of my collection thus far -



Pretty eh? Does anyone have a decent source for a catalog specific to these type things?

P.S. I got the Union Pacific coin from the fleamarket for $2 from a stall which had several of these. If anyone else needs one let me know and I'll try to get one for you next time I go.

In Malaysia, the train token is made of plastic (RFID chip) and it bears no picture of train/railroad...only the company logo. I guess it doesn't entice you. However, they come in 3 colors - blue, yellow, and pink Let me know if you would like to have them.

The only Malaysian coin that depicts train is this commemorative - https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces64705.html

Thanks Yusof. ​ That's very kind of you. I'm only after those tokens from the age of steam, I guess that's roughly pre 1960 (?)

Yes! for the top one Aaron.

Phil,

I believe the Atwood Coffee catalogs should have everything you need to know and some about them. I've got the entire set if you need any help you know how to reach me.

Cheers mate, I'll look into it and get in touch.

Phil, almost certain this is not up your alley.... but just in case. lmk
