Happy New Year Tinplate fans! pd - great litho tinplate gondola, I also like the Lionel litho trains, thanks for posting, there is not very much data in the references on these trains although the LCCA magazine carried a good series of articles on them over the last 2 years. Steve...what great McCoy and Roberts lines pieces, I remember when those were just new on the market and had such great potential. They are super pieces and I understand they run well also..
My offering today, is much more humble, although I admit to being excited when I acquired it with a bit of luck. It was an e-bay auction, with the final bid due at 0500 in Texas. So I bid what I thought was a fair bid but did not expect to win and went to bed. When I woke up at 0800 the next day I was surprised to find I had won! Its an American Flyer, prewar #90 Freight Station. I immediately went to Robert S. Butler's series of posts on these stations back on 4/7/2020 and identified the lithography as the version of the #90 available from 1918 to 1923. It has a few dents and scratches but hey its somewhere around a century old!! Robert thank you for your series of postings, other data on these stations just does not seem to exist outside of the catalogs (which I do not have).
So here it is currently just resting on the Leonardtown and Savannah, looking for its permanent home. I expect it will get displayed with some of my other small AF stations after I get back home and re-arrange some other stuff.
Best wishes everyone
Don
