Anyone have a copy of this book on early tinplate?
Early Tin Plate Model Railways
Published by Argus Books Ltd/Hastings House, Watford, Hertfordshire/N. Y. 180 pp, profusely illustrated in color throughout; many comparative drawings to identify maker by couplers, axle caps, wheels, buffers, etc; no date - circa 1975.
Could always use good early reference material. Seems well worth the $20 price tag.

Jim,
I've yet to run across the title. Anyway, it's on my find list. Thank you!
Can't help with a review, but with lots of pictures even I can understand it. Just ordered one off the net.

According to Amazon, it was published in 1980.
I am always interested in obtaining new material, so I poked around on the web a bit. It looks like the book is focused on English, and/or European tinplate trains.
got one coming and a few others too.
Mettoy catalog named Toy Time Topics, a copy of Ramsey's British Model Trains, Annotated list of British Manufacturers of O gauge, also replaced my missing Shop Class as Soulcraft which one of the ex-editors here borrowed and never returned when he jumped ship for greener pastures.
This weeks tally: Reference material 4, tin trains 0 (so far)
That just cost me $40. Thanks, I think...
John.
