Tinplate in general has been a big hit with my wife. She grew up with her Dad’s postwar trains and was shocked that she hadn’t heard of these great looking tinplate trains before. She’s pretty serious about it too, oftentimes buying her own trains to run on our layout, even stuff that’s hard to find these days Her first purchase was the MTH Lionel Corp 2800 series O gauge girls train shown here. At the last York show she started buying some standard gauge stuff, because she says that’s where the serious tinplate is! Standard gauge is a new scale to me, although we’ve always had some o gauge tinplate. This should be fun!
