Not exactly tinplate but it is going on my Standard Gauge layout so I guess it counts. I bought this Hubley 494 at a train show recently for $12.00. The cab was white and red and the dump bed was green. The paint was chipped and worn. I redid it in Almond, Blue and Black, now it looks as good as new ( and I like the colors better). After seeing wjhat these go for On that auction site I'm almost tempted to list it and make some money.
