Overview

Ferrorama is a Brazilian battery powered toy train system made by Manufatura de Brinquedos Estrela, which started production around the 1980s. The train sets consist of black plastic track with a steam locomotive, an electric locomotive or both (depending on the set) and rolling stock of various types, including a tender, hoppers, tankers, coaches, etc. The locomotives are powered by two 1.5v batteries. The designs and molds for the components were licensed from TOMY, which developed them for a system called Super Rail that offered a more realistic alternative to Plarail. As a result, the majority of the rolling stock in the range are based on Japanese designs, among them the JNR Class D51, JNR Class DD51 and 0 Series Shinkansen.2
