Reply to "Buy/Make Anything Cool Lately (Tinplate Version)"

 

Steamwolf:  Late on my promise to post more pictures I am afraid, for many reasons...but I am attaching some close ups of the consist you were commenting on on 2/12 that was being pulled by the Marx litho #21 Santa Fe F units.  If you chose to fill out your consist for your #21's remember you have to find the cars with the "high" trucks, as these are the only ones that will line up correctly with those on the 21. The trucks on my set are all metal, including the "pickle fork" coupling.  I have seen them with plastic "pickle forks" likely on cars made somewhat later.   I also included a picture of the transformer that was included in the set.  The cars and transformer comprise the complete set except for track.  Good hunting, hope you are successful.

Don! Thank you very much for posting pictures of these. I've managed to find a few of them so far, including both variations of the green boxcar and a NYC Pacemaker boxcar on the same trucks. The Shell tanker is still elusive as the only ones I've come across so far have either had messed up couplers or trucks or both. Still watching though! Attached is a screenshot from an auction where unfortunately the seller didn't want to ship to Canada - shows the two different boxcars and gondolas... And even a wood car. Neat stuff. Screenshot_20200222_072130_com.ebay.mobile
