Weekend tinplate photos/Videos 9/21/18!

Some little trains and accessories from JdP-JEP around 1925. Low range models but always a great litho and fun to collect, there is so many variations.

Have a nice tinplate weekend,  Daniel

What looks like a Union Pacific boxcar graveyard is actually a large batch of cars getting their wheels and axles polished so I can pull all of them. Gotta get rid of the rust and grime. A few of these would not roll on their own at all.

No real tinplate but some paper this weekend:

I received this week the next book, number 4,  in the series on British Toy Trains by Michael Foster.  The original plan was a series with 4 books, but another book will appear on Mettoy; this book is also, like book 3, largely devoted to Brimtoy, since not  everything fitted in book 3. Book 5, which will really be the last one (?), will appear in December.

The book is available direct from Michael Foster (mdfoster@hotmail.co.uk) but I saw it also available from a seller on eBay.

Regards

I just received a nice American Flyer Mayflower set.  It is the 1990’s version built by Lionel and sold under the Lionel Classics line.  I have been interested in this set after seeing it on TM’s “ Richard Kughn’s Train Layout & Collections” DVD. 

Does anyone know what happened  Richard Kughn’s standard gauge layout?  It was supposed to be donated to the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield  Village but nobody there knows anything about it.  They have a large O scale layout featuring several pre war tinplate buildings with recent rolling stock but no standard gauge.

I have a Mohave and Marroon  213 from his collection. A thread from 2014 shows a picture of a layout behind the Allegheny and states that some of it is from Kughn's collection.

Marx prewar 8 wheel freight set with automatic couplers.  The CRI&P Gurnsey milk car has 4 wooden milk cans held in place with a cardboard insert.

snagged a new Marx 5584 bridge for the L trains although I don't have any Marx L trains.

when Hafner and Flyer split in 1914, it was hard to see a difference for a few years...

two of their earliest tenders, nearly identical aside from lettering and couplers.  members of the true century club.

happy Friday... gary

Welcome to the forum Fenderman!  Great looking layout and trains!

Welcome Fenderman. Great entertaining photos, thanks much.

btw: being Fenderman, might you have photos of telecasters and stratocasters, and tweed amps of the same vintage? 

Just curious.

Right on leroof. I do have those items but no photos.
