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

Look what the postman brought this week (via international air freight).  A No. 813 Cattle Car in orange and pea green with copper journals (Type II) from 1931-34 and a No. 816 Coal Car Hopper in red with copper journals (Type III) from 1931-34.

These might be relatively easy to buy in the US, but they're impossible to get here in Australia.  So sorry to my US friends to have depleted the total pool of available supply by two cars!

I’m very happy with the cattle car which is in great condition for its age.  The paint is amazing.  I was hoping the hopper car would be the lighter red color but it’s not and looks to have been repainted.  That's what can happen when you rely on a seller's low quality photos.  Oh well, it's still a nice addition to the pre-war collection.
