The story of Dan-Train
The story of Dan-Train is steeped in a deep passion for trains and commitment to quality. Dan-Train was launched in 1965 by founder Dan Hertz Jr. who turned his personal interest in trains into a thriving enterprise. Dan Hertz sought to recreate the enchanting world of locomotives in miniature form, a feat which he superbly accomplished through his creations under the Dan-Train brand. Fun fact: Dan-Train toys were the first to masterfully integrate Lenz digital systems, making them a pioneer in the toy train industry.
