I want to get some o gauge tinplate trains. Modern tinplate.
I'm looking for steam locomotives and cars but which numbers are o gauge? Some listings are confusing as they say operates on all standard track
systems. I am having trouble finding this stuff. One engine i want is MTH 11-6064-1. I would rather buy a set with this engine in it.

Btw, I looked at the mth listing. I have no idea why it mentions standard gauge track. That is definitely an O gauge 263e.

Like others, your tinplate bug is biting after modern mth tinplate production has stopped.

SideTrack hobbies is great and has a great website.

B&F hobbies in Wakefield RI is usually pretty well stocked, but you just have to call Frank and ask him what he has, but he does use the mth product locator.

Other hot spots for new in box tinplate are Pat's Trains, Western Depot, and Bradys Train outlet.

Keep us posted as to which way you jump.
