Lionel had a paper train during WWII due to no toy trains being made during the war. There was a complete train. These look smaller than the Lionel items and these look home made, possibly inspired by the Lionel offering. The Lionel paper train was notoriously difficult to assemble and keep together, and so was considered a failure, but it provided something to offer while the materials that went into metal trains were critical to war production.
I would definitely say these are homemade by some doting parent to bring a bit of joy to a deserving youngster.

 First Lionel trains at 2yr 89 months on Dec. 25th, 1948
