So.... does Scale-craft count as tinplate? Mostly brass and bronze but definitely prewar. I guess I would need to put some tinplate wheels on it to truly claim it as "tinplate"... maybe "Brassplate"? Anyway, I really love K4's and also like the Scale-craft locos and cars. This is Scale-craft K4 #3 for me and with apologies does need some work. It was set up for outside third rail and still has a giant universal motor in it. Plus I figure the two rail scale guys won't like it because it is 80 years old and not detailed enough. Just kidding on that last part! BTW, those are not original Scale-craft drivers, not sure what they came from, but I'll have to replace those at some point. This thing is a real doorstop too, I think it would keep a semi from rolling back down a hill.

Dennis, I'd keep the wonderful cast/machined drivers.
