I posted my most recent buildings & accessories in the “buy anything new/cool lately(tinplate edition)” thread- so I’ll post the rolling stock or motive power here:
Starting off with German-made trains:
This pair of Marklin 2942/0 PRR 4-wheel wood litho coaches arrived today. First American Market Marklin items I’ve acquired!
The axles are knurled at the end, wheels have embossed spokes, Marklin logo at lower right corner of each end.
One is in better shape. That same one also has a stamped logo on the bottom.
Bing 4 wheel PRR boxcar & PRR Lakewood Observation(steel litho Coach)
Moving stateside:
I know these Marx GE 70-ton switchers are plastic, but they have near honorary tin status. WP 702 and ICG(needs a coupler). Both run F-R and do it well!
Flyer 1096 box cab electric! This guy has been on my list of prewar electric outlines. Has original wheels, body is in pretty good shape
Back to rolling stock:
Ives 1811(pre-Winner-ized) Pullman and Ives 1504 Pullman. Trying to acquire different makes of passenger cars to see which ones look good together!
A I love the look of these Hafner streamliner passenger cars! I Can’t believe I didn’t get into these sooner!
Can anyone tell me when Hafner made these types of passenger cars? I know the history of the rare, early Hafner Overland Flyer cars. TCA website has the same coaches(diff litho scheme) from a 1941 set.
And just a pic of each building/acc:
Hornby Plate Layer’s Hut(came with box) to the right of an also new Lionel black #56 street lamp:
Skyline Yard Tower is serving as an apartment on the RA&P(Richmond, Allentown & Philadelphia) RR
some newer tin: Modern Marx Queen’s cafe. Love it!
Modern Marx by Ameritrains Union Oil Co.” Oil Depot
enjoy! Help regarding the Hafner question is appreciated!
