Weekend tinplate photos/video's 3/24/17

Thanks Jim. 

Nice to see the beggining of the weekend Chris,

Some french HORNBY tankers all post war, 1940 to 1960 for today.

As usually have a great tinplate weekend and don't miss to show us some of your treasures.

I was starting to panick and thought this wasn't Friday!!

newly arrived new to me Flyer Sand Car

and out of the paint shop this week...

New to me this week. Flyer Town Depot.

So I now have two (both?) styles of the same building.

This is actually the first of the 4 Dorfan tank cars I have acquired. Been laying around, so time to ready it for revenue service. I will leave it without the straps, but it now has trucks (arrived yesterday)  and a brake wheel. Ladders, wheels and axles are from a McCoy donor car.

Also grabbed up the Lionel 1680F tank car from the 1940-'41 Firestone merchandise sets. The sets contained the common 1679 Baby Ruth boxcar, 1682 caboose, a 1664 loco and a 1689T tender but this version of the tank car was produced especially for these sets with no Sunoco or Shell locos, much like the Ives 1680.

Hi Tinplate Friends

I've managed to switch my website to something much more manageable.  If you go to www.myworldoftrains.shutterfly.com and follow the simple instructions you'll see plenty of O gauge tinplate.

Enjoy. Use my E mail address on file if you have any comments.

ALL COOL collectibles!  :-)

A few news in my collection.

Bing cars with wooden bodies.

I had found a very rare loco 180/531 from 1906. The condition was bad, but after cleaning and repair of the engine they looks really nice and runs again. It´s for 4 V DC.

Condition first.

Repaired engine

Condition now.

Love that Flyer stuff Greg! 

Orphans - Just about every toy manufacturer who turned out litho cars made them carrying the road names of one or more of the usual suspects - NYC, IC, PRR, B&O, Santa Fe, and Erie.  However, most of them also turned out one or more one-of-a-kinds...such as...

American Flyer - NKP

Bing - CNJ

Ives - Chicago Great Western

 Marx - GAEX

beautiful Flyer Greg

Robert I've never seen that NKP car...I'll be looking for one now.

and in the mailbox today.....a mate to my NKP flat

I added a detail to my 4-8-4 project today. Inspired by my 226E I was running, I spotted just the thing in a recent junk purchase.

Dave, I don't know just yet.  She really likes the Muppets though.

thanks George. It's not complete yet, but the engine and the tender both came from numerous junk box finds and parts deals. 

two buildings I have wanted for along time

And now to find the C&O

Steve

I'm going to string some power-lines along a few poles on my mainline and I needed an end-point at the 305 bridge. I made this little junction-box-looking-thing using a block of wood, a bit of cardboard, some silver paint, two nails and a couple of repro insulators I got from George Tebolt:

Printed the warning-sign from the web and added a bit of ground-foam after painting. Hopefully it works. I'm going to use some stretchy jewelry wire I found at Michael's for the line. I'm hoping that holds up in the face of wildly exuberant arm-swinging visitors...

PD

I have been away for the weekend; here is a picture I took last week of 3 French CR (Rossignol) clockwork streamliners:

Picked up a 249E 

I saw these two tin Lampposts in an antique store probably five or six years ago for 15 bucks so I decided to pick them up has anybody ever seen this product line or manufacturer anywhere and wondering if they did they do anything else?

They came in a few colors and different numbers of bulbs. They are still in business, but not making stuff like that anymore. http://www.kramerproducts.com/

Thanks Steve I appreciate the info I'm liking the silver ones better.

I stumbled onto two of the green lights.

I just saw several of the 4 bulb version at a hobby shop yesterday. They also came in black.  I have a set of red and a set of black.

The red ones are at the ends of the top shelf.
