My Y-1A Allchin steam traction engine and Y-11A Aveling and Porter Steamroller.
These toy models were introduced in 1956 and 1958 respectively. They were discontinued in 1964, making them as old as I am, if not older.
The Allchin has some silver overpaint at the top of the exhaust stack and on the piping, after-market "detailing."
