Are there any prewar tinplate collectors in the great white north that want to compare notes, trade, whatever? I started collecting prewar trains about a year ago and find that i am rather lonely in my hobby. There does not seem to be any clubs? Train shows are full of modern DCC setups and vendors are selling piles of "junk" postwar items. In all of my travels I have yet to see one decent prewar piece...not necessarily for sale...just to see it? So if there are any other Canadian collectors (I live close to Toronto) that would like to chat, please give me a shout. I collect primarily prewar Lionel and Ives (Both O gauge and standard gauge) American Flyer, Marklin, Hogem JEP and Bing but am really interested in anything "vintage".
Thanks
