Here's a not-very-good shot of part of my 263 and 260 motive power collection. Will post better photos with the glass doors off and better lighting at some point in the near future. I am a big fan of the bright, shiny, unmarred, and quiet-running tinplate put out by MTH over the years in their Tinplate Traditions and Lionel Corporation Tinplate lines, and I have a lot of it. A separate display case, which I will also photograph and post at some point, houses my collection of the smaller 249 and 264 series locomotives from MTH. I have a number of display cases in my office/lounge/train room area--most of which contain O scale models--but first-time visitors always comment on the tinplate trains first (generally after commenting on my all-black-painted open ceiling).
I will be constructing a small O gauge tinplate layout near my under-construction full-size O scale layout in the fairly near future (I hope), because I do have a good number of tinplate (MTH and Lionel) buildings, bridges, and signals that need to see some use so I and others can enjoy them.
