@jhz563 posted: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.
I'm still looking for items. I did find 2 new engine i like. A forum member has a set i really like. Trouble is rolling stock is really hard to find. May have to buy pre war and refurbish it but it's scarce too.
