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

Been here and there the last couple of days, culminating with the Hamburg train meet this past Sunday.

 

bought a few Bub pieces off this sale gentleman last time, he was one of the few who had anything European. The last car(the red coach) is one I bought last time.

Now for the new ones: The front car is a baggage car, it’s quite plain compared to the other KBN baggage car that I have(green, numbers, says “Nuremberg”c has a KBN and Bing logo). This one has no logo. Also, one the couplers is, for lack of a better word, upside down with a t-shaped slit. The blue coach in the middle is the same way, the connection holds up rather well. Neither car has any KBN markings on it, whatsoever, any idea why? Further, why are these couplers different?

Next picked up the SP caboose with the stupid Marx knuckle coupler ha. But I had to get that one since I have the 6000 AA units. I believe i’m Just missing a Wabash gondola and the set will be complete?5F4FCE68-4113-4782-9726-D9AE7388E5B3

its the figures on the right that caused me to post this. They’re all Diecast. The officer in blue, he’s an officer on my layout at least ha, is newer as is the hunter up front. The figure in between is a policeman writing out a ticket but he’s serving as an immigration official for refugees on my layout right now. In the back right, he’s the most interesting. I collect toy soldiers as well. I’ve never seen a toy soldier that old at a size that is somewhat compatible with anything in the O train realm, Tinplate or not. Most soldiers are 54mm and appropriate for g-scale. While this figure is bigger than  most, he’s an interesting figureAnd one I’m happy to have added to my layout.9EF5C78A-8940-4132-8859-9F9775591CCD

Im including this picture because of the 250 watt Z which was, iirc, late prewar and early postwar. Got a good deal on it and a warranty. Can never have too much power! My dad and I visited the Reading Train Museum after the show which was really cool- that’s what you see on the right.093BB865-D946-475C-802A-23330BC507DB

finally, immigration official on the right as the last of refugees make their way across the foot bridge. On the left is the soldier I spoke of previously. 5A4B1148-1846-45D1-B371-6CBFFB3D9A9E

While I didn’t get the 2 things that  i wanted(one of which was supposed to be there), I bought A LOT of pieces(figures, transformers) that give me more options going forward.
