Reply to "Tinplate photos πŸ“Έ and videos πŸ“½"

@Arne thanks for the identification on the tunnels , I don't have the goodies yet as they are in the post , so I was holding off investigating as that is the only photos I have to work off... I am thinking that the bridge , crossing and signal are likely HWN or similar , again from the 60's?

@Don McErlean always lovely to see what you find mate ! The NYC loco I know all too well as I have the complete boxed set ... this was a take it or leave it freebie deal lol , so no prisoners were left behind

@Miketg , I HATE moving lol... wishing you all the luck ! and while I am here , thanks to you, Don, Arne and everybody who keeps this thread ticking over ...I might be a bit sentimental but this thread is one of my favourite places on the web , a spot where within reason anyone can post anything they want to share without the "overlords" getting noses out of joint ... these places are getting harder and harder to find !

I really like Technofix and have several sets , including the rollercoaster, which was called the Coney Island set in the USA

Coal Mine loader...

Alpine Express....

More common Blue Shunting Train set

I could fill a page just with all of them lol!!! Not to mention the likes of Distler, Marx , Tippco, GEM, Unique Arts etc who produced many different track based set ups that I have found ( hoarded)  over the years ...

My hardest one to complete was actually a Technofix .. a pre-war rangierbahn made in 1938 ... locos are not too hard to find , but getting the original track pieces took me years! I finally found two full sets of rails in Spain of all places . ( And naturally after spending 5 years looking for them , within 2 weeks another set of tracks showed up which I also bought lol ) I am guessing once these sets got jumbled up over the years , no-one ever knew what the tracks were for and they got junked in the majority of cases?

Love various car sets too ...

Distler pre-war

Enough Fatman .. enough !!!! LOL

Anyway hope you enjoyed the distraction
