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

As I said before- more to come!

to go with my Bassett Lowke North Eastern Railway Gondola, a Bing North Eastern Railway freight car- albeit four wheels and much smaller. Just came in the mail today:

F61815CF-B7C1-46D0-A22D-51F33B576839

Won this at a local auction- missing handles and bulb covers but otherwise in good shape and working well- American Flyer 12b. Always looking for Postwar transformers like this, Lionel type V, Z or KW to power accessories.

From front to back:

The Gondola and Hopper I posted above. Flea market buy in a parts bin- Lionel Standard Gauge #77 crossing. Not sure what I’m going to turn it into yet. In the back: Prewar Lionel  #815 Sunoco Tankerin decent shape and a somewhat beat up 901 Lake shore gondola A1D4C722-FD6D-46F5-9832-E9D8AC57D493

I know I posted this above, but forgot to point out the semaphore in the background- I believe it’s a Prewar American Flyer? C7C0C2B4-3231-4F57-B283-26B4805A17B9862A92FA-03D6-405E-AC4B-9120964498C5

And then there’s this guy, which may be my most intriguing- I was going to post it in my “help with Bing cast iron shell” thread:

2B123AEB-BF54-49AC-91E6-52616026F064055390FA-7B2D-4EF4-9A84-707C9B86E8B7DA73D2D6-870C-43E6-8AA7-B6BDE5C7181A7F0317AE-0DBC-460E-BA8E-DE67C3667D89

Simply marked Germany. Electric motor(obviously not working). The shells of the loco and tender as well as the remaining wheels on the loco are in nice shape. The thing is- it’s just a hair too small for o gauge and definitely doesn’t fit on s-gauge. I know Bub had a misguided S-gauge endeavor- but the wheelbase wouldn’t align with that. I also know that some German manufacturers in the Prewar days manufactured a smaller o gauge. @Arne and @FRENCHTRAINS - I was gonna post this to you guys anyway, ideas? I ran into a seller at a train meet recently who had a similar one and he gave me his contact info telling me to reach out.
