I stray a little by heading this consist with a modern 700E, but I do believe that it fits in with tinplate at its heart. Discovering these post-war adapters makes it easy too. Represented also is a vintage Marklin spur 1 switch tower which is in need of some restoration.

I mix and match all the time. I haven't had much luck with the adapters so I built a transition car with prewar latch couplers on one end and modern lobster claw one the other. I like to sometimes pull my LCT hoppers with a GG-1 or modern diesel.

Here's a 0-6-0 pulling some small tinplate

The transition car itself

Sorry for the poor video. Here's a 261e pulling modern freight cars....

And a way to double head tinplate with modern steam.

It's all about having fun
