I can beat you on the cheap first camera. I had a more or less cubical box with one open side. The side opposite the open side had a very cheap fixed focus lens with a very cheap shutter. It didn't need a back because when you attached a 126 film cartridge, IT was the back. There was an ear sticking off one corner with a knob to advance the film and a viewfinder sticking up at the top center of the back. I suppose I must've shot some trains with it, but I really don't remember what; probably some green E9s.

The BSA 127 Camera was manufactured by the Herbert George Company of Chicago, Illinois, in the late 1950s, and early 1960s. This snapshot camera was constructed of plastic with the official Boy Scout logo located on the front of the camera.  It featured a built-in eye-level viewfinder, a fixed focus lens (which partially explains the quality of my photographs), a simple instantaneous shutter, two aperture settings to accommodate color or black and white film, and a detachable synchronized flash.  It captured exposures on number 127 roll film.
