The Girard Model Works
Joy Line train sets were made by the Girard Model Works of Girard, Pennsylvania in association with Louis Marx, circa 1927 to 1936.
Girard began with O-gauge pressed steel clockwork locomotives and expanded their line in 1930 to include electric engines. Rolling stock consisted of simple tinplate tenders, freight and passenger cars with Joy Line Coach and Observation cars being introduced in 1931.
