Weekend tinplate photos 📸 and videos 📽 8/2/19!

Whew!!!! I was getting nervous! 

  American Flyer Potomac Set 1928

  The catalog

The set

VERY NICE set!

I had a run with a small (2-4-0) and a large (4-4-4) JEP streamlined locomotive and train. Both are running on the same track but alas, no collision!

Regards

Fred

Had us worried!

FRED: I especially like that 4-4-4!

JIM Z: NICE sets!

Take care Chris, we need you for the thread ...

As Fred posted some nice JEP trains I will continue with JEP. Today a not comon red streamlined model just made in 1938. Jep has used the autorail body and coupled it to a small streamlined loco to make a fantasy model. This one is clockwork but it has also been made in electric version.

Have a nice tinplate weekend,    Daniel

Here is the (rather rare) electric version of the red JEP streamliner Daniel mentioned:

Thanks very much for the video Fred, nice to see it running.

Very best,  Daniel

FRED: Was that yours in the u tube video?

Due to a lot of cleaning, organizing, and rearranging at home, my windup train display has been relocated... which gave me an excuse to retire the old windup layout, and build a new (and hopefully better) Torsion Rail Lines for the windup trains:

JAMES: Very IMPRESSIVE layout! Nothing low KEY about your layout! (wink!)

Yes (I seldom show pics or video's of stuff that's not mine).

Got a Snoopy flying ace for my Michael’s airplane. He’s a little big, but better than too small.

I got a replacement light fixture for the clock tower and installed it last night.  

Going to light some more buildings this weekend.

Chris, Glad you are doing well.

Here is my prewar Lionel #228 switcher shifting a Dorfan boxcar.

Nice George. Now you need another plane to do a Red Baron red repaint! 

Lionel 773 Hudson (1964 vintage loco but with one of the older tenders) on the layout. An American Flyer 3020 boxcab also appears in two of the shots. Check out the video for the very nice sounding whistle unit.
