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:
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
I know I posted this above, but forgot to point out the semaphore in the background- I believe it’s a Prewar American Flyer?
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:
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.
