Reply to "Tinplate photos πŸ“Έ and videos πŸ“½"

A while ago I purchased a lot of tin rolling stock and a few engines (and buildings too).  The one I am going to share in this thread caught my eye because it was so well done, it was almost like new - but the Engine and Tender just didn't seem right, even though they had extra detailing and add on's.  This 'Brown' set has been a shelf queen, and the Pullman cars were named after States, and they were numbered.  This weekend, out of curiosity I pulled out the Greenberg guide and looked them up.  My initial thought was holy cow, I am a rich guy...but then I realized that a very talented individual had repainted a set of 'O' gauge cars and Engine etc to replicate a more expensive 'Standard' gauge outfit.  The individual matched the State names and Pullman numbers, some really nice work.  Something like this should be shared with others who have similar interests.  Enjoy.  Chuck

PS - let me know if I did ACTUALLY strike it rich (LOL)
