Majorette Sonic Flashers Train



One of my first and favorite toys when I was a kid was this Majorette train

It was part of the Sonic Flashers series so when you would press down on the engine's wheels the light on the engine would come on and it would start making train noises

Plasticos Impala Ford C-Series Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex)





They are two mint in box Ford C-Series trucks made in Mexico by Plasticos Impala in the 1980's,

They are painted in the colors of the national oil company Pemex (Petroleos Mexicanos)

Plasticos Impala still makes these types of toys and has been around since 1969.
They are one of the few Mexican toy companies that survived the economic crisis of the 1980's and 1990's and also the increased competition from Chinese toy companies.

Intro

I'm Lalo I'm 18 and though I currently live in the US I'm originally from Mexico City, Mexico. One of my biggest passions since I was very young has been anything to do with transportation be it cars, trucks, trains, buses, planes, etc. This has led me to collect a great amount of toys some from more more well known brands like Hot Wheels and Matchbox and others from brands that are only available in certain countries.
If you're someone who likes toys or is interested in just about any form of transportation then I hope you will check out my blog!

P.S. I know some people are bothered by ads however please understand that collecting toys both old and new is not a cheap hobby to have and any extra income is good to help maintain it.
