Reply to "Appreciating Harlan Creswell- Master Tinplate Builder"

I agree! Creswell was a wonderful craftsman and I have several of his creations in my collection. These include: two BiPolars (one painted in an olive drab livery and the other in Milwaukee Road's "tri-color" black, maroon, and orange paint scheme), one of his green State Car baggage cars, and lastly a black 600E. As soon as I can locate and pull them out, I will take pictures and post them here.

The link below will take you to a video of SGMA at the World's Greatest Hobby on Tour show at the Dulles Expo Center in 2010. 50 seconds into this video you can see my large tri-color Creswell BiPolar sitting adjacent to an even larger all green Brute. Then at the 9:02 minute mark, you can watch that same tri-color BiPolar pulling a long consist of tri-color MTH Milwaukee Road State Cars. Neat!
