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

I have been engaged in trying to make room in my trainroom to move around.  The boxes, etc had begun to take over all the free space. So last weekend I started going through my "storage cabinets" and removing items I think I can sell through my wife's antique booth (mostly non-collectable train sets).  In this process, I have "discovered" a number of sets that I had forgotten I had purchased and so I now have an up to date inventory, as well as some room to move around and work the layout.

One of the sets that I re-discovered today was a Hornby set that IAW the note inside I purchased from a train store in Dayton, Oh.  Which takes me back to the mid-80's!!  So here it is...the set has loco (101 Tank ), cars, track, and the little box is "track connectors". My Hornby book dates this set from 1947-1954.  It was made prior to '47 but the red tank dates it from that date on as it changed from grey to a red shell in '47.

The box lid , which of course does  not in anyway reflect the contents!

The end label giving the set number and the fact that it is the LMS version.

Paperwork from inside the set, one is instructions on how to set up the track and the other is the guarantee.

Hope everyone has a good week.  Regards
