I've found a set of SG #19 & 190 passenger cars (combine and observation) for my wife for $15, already stripped for painting (I'm thinking Polar Express colors).

A Tinplate Polar Express, that is something I'd love to see (...and have). Art, please keep us posted w/ pics on your progress. I've been mulling the idea of stripping down a couple of O-gauge 600 or 2600 series prewar cars and re-painting to Polar Express colors. IIRC Hero Boy had a tinplate train running around the family Christmas tree in the Polar Express movie.

Although tinplate production from MTH is on a hiatus, hopefully w/ enough hints (requests) @MTH might consider a North Pole Railroad themed tinplate offering. They've already dipped their toe into the Polar color palette w/ their Railking cars and accessories. Maybe MTH could test the idea/interest by offering a Polar Railroad colored MTH RR Club Tinplate membership car offering? santa xtree thumb nod
