my wife and i were talking about how the toys back in our day were so much more fun than today. they were made better and so much more interesting. my favorite was the mighty casey ride em railroad! i remember being starstruck just seeing it on christmas morning, all other toys under the tree may as well been sent back. we lived in a flat in the city back then, and it just about covered the whole place. when my son was younger about 2 years old i couldent wait to get him his first ride on train, it brought back all those memories of me and my casey. i often search the web in hopes of getting a glimps of one of those great toys of yesterday but so far nothing has come up. believe it or not a few years back we were at a train museum and they had a few of the original mighty casey railroads but it had a price tag of 750.00 each! i would have loved to grab one but yikes! oh well i still have the memories and those are priceless.

I finally recovered most of the two sets I used to have (long story). Unfortunately, many of the parts are broken or missing. Original batteries are just about impossible to find. But, you can use any of several substitutes, including: garden tractor batteries; electric motorbike batteries; or even NIMH cells in a homemade carrier. There are probably many other possibilities.

Mike: I don't think that the RED CABOOSE was ever produced (???) In many of the Mighty Casey packages came a flyer showing additional items available as well as comming products. Including a differnt "freight" diesel locomotive (more squared looking) a CABOOSE, TIPPLE GONDOLA, PIPE CARRYING FLAT CAR, and an alternate decorated BOX CAR and a OBSERVATION PASSENGER CAR (to tail end the passenger car-rounded end with Mighty Casey logo on circle medalion on rear of car) Also shown was a LEFT HAND & RIGHT HAND TRACK SWITCH. Does anyone know if these were produced?? Also some images of the Passenger car are shown in a silver. Were these ever produced in silver?? -Mike

A funny memory: The first time I saw a MIGHTY CASEY was at a toy store called MINI CITY (in San Diego) this was around 1970/71?? I was already in love in with trains and I went wild!! The train was set up under a domed monkey bar indoor display with some other small toys in the center. I was small enough to crawl thru the triangular openings and rode the train over and over. My parents were ready to go and I would NOT get off that train!! My dad was getting pissed and no adults could fit thru the bars to "retrieve" me. I ignored the demands of my mom and dad to come out and we had to go! My dad told my mom to go "buy me something" leave. Then the manager of the stire and some workers went to lift the dome up so my dad could get me out-at that point my mom bought a small hot wheels car to entice me out-and it worked. I was then grabbed by my dad and spanked and thrown in the car-when I asked my mom for the hotwheels car she said NO!! I was bad! I did get the train for Christmas however!!-Mike Cozart

Mike, My husband was like you he went crazy when he bought our daughter her first Mighty Casey. She was only two years old. I dont know which one loved it more. Remco had trouble selling this large train and finally quite making them. We purchased eight sets from a dealer and twelve passenger car's, all of them yellow. We were told they never produced the extra cars and engines. I have see the switch's but they are very rare. I am taking the last set to York Train show in Pa. this next week. I have some extra track and cars. My husband passed away . My email is Sndrsmith8246@AOL.COM

To the comments above about additional cars-- does anyone have a copy of that flyer they would share with me? I have never seen the flyer that announces the coming of those types of cars. I am a serious collector of Mighty Casey train sets. Currently, my family is putting in a backyard railroad that is gauged for our Might Casey trains. Our engines have undergone a transformation. One engine was serviced and has become the mainstain. I bought another engine on good faith from the West Coast that was a dud. I took the engine out and made that unit into a dummy unit. After some modifications, I turned the engine around to have its back to the other engines back-- to make a "A-A" unit. The coupler then comes out of the front of the dummy engine. They have been repainted into a Western Maryland Railroad color scheme and carry numbers in the number boards. One of our boxcars has been repainted and freely decaled for the WM as well. Same for the gondolas. Our passenger cars were the first to be repainted. They have been repainted into a Pullman Green with Silver roofs. Soon, the passenger train will have a lighted interior. I guess it should be said that if anyone is looking to get rid of their M/C, please drop me an email first. Even if the cars are broken, usually something can be done with them so that other cars can be repaired. Did I mention that I take my M/C into special places where kids may need an extra smile. I haven't taken the set into a place yet where a child who needs a smile has not smiled. God bless them all. My email is wmryco@hotmail.com Thank you!!

REMCO Mighty Casey. This has been in my family for years - many memories for us - but sadly all the kids and grandkids have grown or don't have the floor space for this wonderful toy. If anyone is still looking, I have a working engine with boxcar, flat car, and passenger car. Also about 50 pcs of straight and curved track including 2 cross tracks. All items are in "good" condition. I will be listing this on ebay by week's end - but let me know if you have immediate interest. ddelalio@yahoo.com

I have about a dozen engines, maybe 100 feet of track, that I would like to sell for $250 to someone who appreciates this stuff. You could probably make 4-5 good engines and 50 feet of track out of what I have. I paid well over $1,000 to acquire all this, but I'm never going to get around to working on it. I'm in Reno, and do not have the time or energy to pack it all up. It's yours if you want to drive to Reno, or find someplace in Reno that will package it all at your expense. 775-750-5537 or rlissner@gmail.com.

Rob Lambert - February 02, 2018 - Report this comment
The 1970 JC Penney Toy Catalog listed Mighty Casey at $38 for the engine and enough track to build a simple oval. Additional cars ranged from $5 to $9. The 6 volt battery would poop out after so many charges, and replacements cost about $2. Remco had a pitchman back then, the Old Toymaker, in TV commercials and printed on boxes. From the Saturday morning cartoon vault, commercial aired on a "Monkees" rerun over CBS (11/14/70).
Rob Lambert - February 03, 2018 - Report this comment
The Mighty Casey train is on page 312 of the Penney catalog, and can be found on the Wishbook Web site. In a cross-promotional deal, Remco allowed Penney's to offer Mighty Casey at a $5 discount from MSRP, which was $43. Mighty Casey not offered in the Sears catalogs in 1970 or 1971. Still, for 1970, a very expensive toy.

I made track for the Casey using clap board. Just made a set of spring loaded switches so I can have a dog bone layout in the yard. I make buildings by enlarging printed paper buildings I find on the net, glue the paper to coroplast signs I get free after elections.
