Weekend Tinplate photos 📸 and videos 📽 1/23/20!

Chris, I'm usually late to the party. Here is one of my prewar Lionel #228 switchers on my workbench layout.

Ives  version of the New York Central S motors, the 3242 from the mid 1920’s.

Amercan Flyer Steeple Cabs

RivaRossi from Italy is known for their plastic trains in H0 gauge and later 0 and N gauge. In their early period (around 1950) however they made, with body parts supplied by an Italian toy maker (Inco Giochi), a tinplate locomotive and passenger car; this was made for 3-rail running in DC. These were also available in a train-set with tinplate rails and transformer. I found this RivaRossi locomotive and passenger car this week at a French seller:

Doesn't the front coupler look dangerous?

A different armored train

always excited when I find a color of a car or trucks I didn't know that was out there,,,the marron sand car on the upper left and the black truck green sand car lower middle,,,which is prewar,others are mth

FRED: NICE (rare?) Rivarossi tinplate!  ☺

JIM Z: VERY NICE 3242!  ☺

A nice little building, a freight station made by LR ( Le Rapide ) in France before 1940. Very representative of a french model of that period, it bears the name of the town of Trappes where the LR plant was located, near Paris.

Have a nice weekend, Daniel

DANIEL: A little JEWEL of a building!  ☺

Always the best thread of the week!

FEF, just got this. I’ve had the passenger cars for years. Nice to finally have the correct loco.

Very cool find Fred.  I assume you'll be on the lookout for additional passenger cars?

I am REALLY outclassed on this thread this week with all the really amazing stuff that you others have shared

I can only drool at some of the offerings !

Up until last night I didnt even think I would have anything new to me that I could share , but the train gods eventually smiled upon me and I brought a few more items to come live in the Southern Hemisphere with me

A not too fabulous Hornby MO locomotive and tender ...

This loco is possibly the most widely produced Hornby O gauge Model out there

A small Trackside Platelayers Hut

And a couple of Wells/Brimtoys Stations, signalbox's , these units were usually included in a boxed set as decor .

The red one with the signal is definately pre-war as it has the "Streetlamp" brimtoy trademark

I also picked up a couple of diecast early vehicles to sit on a flat car or by the side

A neat little English saloon car from Crescent Toys C.mid 40s?

And a Dinky Liverpool Market Farm truck ( both are about 4 " long ...

Stations, are you sure? They look like signal boxes/signal towers.

Re-powered Marx Santa Fe 21 AA pulling MTH chrome plated plastic cars. (Sorry, my aluminum Lionel cars are still packed away.)

When I first re-powered this engine, I was getting clickety clack sounds. I assumed the flywheel was hitting some of the metal tabs on the inside of the shell. I bent those tabs back today and solved the problem.
