Weekend Tinplate photos 📸 and videos 📽 1/16/20!

I think you might have something there.  Nice trains.

The arrival of the Mundhenke E63 was bittersweet. These engines come in a 0.5” thick wooden box. Trouble seems to be though that if you do not use the arresting bolt to secure the locomotive to the box then you may as well just put it in an envelope and hope for the best. Luckily, I’ve been able to straighten out the bends for the most part. Fixing the enamel loss will be a bit harder. Also, finding E5.5 19V bulbs is no easy thing either. All in all, it could have been much worse. It runs well and the directional lighting is intact. DHL / USPS can be brutal. Also shown as ‘new’ is the Marklin 1841 passenger coach.

How about some presidents.

PHILLYCHRIS: The seller owes you a serious discount for not properly securing the engine!  😐

Wow Chris , always disappointing when something shows up banged up in the post

This week I have a couple of new to the collection items

Although not O gauge I hope this nifty little Johann Hoefler set passes muster !

Such a cute little bugger and while not representative of anything , in its own right I am sure it gave the biggest smile to some young eyes at some point in its past ... Probably from the early 50's the clover trademark on it was changed in 1958 to a different style

Continuing with what is fast becoming a habit is another early hornby M1 from the 20's to 30's

But its differently numbered so it had to come visit

Last week Daniel showed a complete series of postwar JEP cars. JEP made this cars , which were based on a postwar SNCF design (called DEV) also in S gauge:

In S gauge these tinplate cars were relatively longer and having 7 instead of 5 windows; in S only a first/second class car, a combined passenger baggage car and a sleeping car weer made:

With MTH out of the Standard gauge business, we won't see any additional special cars from them, it seems. Here are three 200 series cars seeing duty under the holiday tree: the SGMA covered gondola and B & O  hopper, and a green and cream work caboose. 

Some look alike 4 wheel bobbers

Some more Blue Comet.

While I try to limit the American Flyer portion of my collection to pieces in original paint, I will stray when it comes to the products of other manufacturers.  Here is an example from Ives.

This is a representation of Ives' Knickerbocker set from 1930 with one extra 133 Pullman.  The 4 passenger cars came in one purchase. The seller did the repaints and claimed that the cars had originally been in these colors.

The #3261 engine was a separate purchase which I believe is in its original paint.

Before I found the engine I paired the cars with a #3251. (1924 -1928)

I really like the black and red color combination.

Could there be a Black Diamond in my future?

Have  a Great Tinplate weekend

Nice, Joe...I always wished Mike had made a JC/BC caboose.

During the thirties JEP has offered a great variety of "autorails" which are based on a standard model ot North Railways.      They have been very popular in their time and where less expensives than classic train sets.

And a smaller one in his original box.

After the war it has been produced with a SNCF stamping,

Have a nice weekend,  daniel

DANIEL: VERY NICE  and unique models! ☺

Only a few news in the collection this week.

Found a set of 4 Bub coaches No 4611, made 1933-1936. This coaches are from a german luxury train called "Rheingold"

The roofs are in wrong colour.

Some differents, oldest withe the windmill logo.

And a Adolf Schuhmann No 62 watchmans hut made around 1925. Was made with different signal arms.

Greetings
