Hi Tinplate fans...Fatman, as usual what a great find. Candidly I never realized that the 00 market was so competitive in the 1930's although I do know that Lionel tried to get a foothold in the late 1939's with a fabulous model of the NYC J-3 Hudson (which today costs far more than I can spend so it will remain on the desired list). Steve- what a find...the Marx animals just illustrates the genius of Mr. Marx and his toy company. Never saw them before but they are just great!

Speaking of Marx, today I have a small sampling of some of the variations of what was a quite common car. The 551 NYC type wagon top tender, often called the Commodore Vanderbilt type tender. It came in many styles and my reference shows 20 different type of varieties starting in 1934 and extending to 1956.

Here are two of the more scarce configurations. The 1950-53 Red Stripe variation and the 1939-41 copper / black stripe variation.

Here are some close ups.

Best wishes

Don
