Celebrate Tinplate October 2012

My latest acquisition. 262e and 600 series passenger cars.

 

 

Up Top is a 1940 145W work train.  Next up is a set of 2640/40/41 passenger cars that were repainted red and maroon with the original yellow inserts.  Below is a 151W dump car set 225E/2235W,(3)3659's, 2657, an the Beater Blue Streak cars.  I need to find or paint up a matching 265E for them!

Here's my favorite runner...a Lionel 258 restored many years ago:

 

 

Hey RJ...where are you?

York is where I plan on buying my first Tinplate engine. I have been wanting one for quite awhile. It will go at first under the tree and after the holidays will move to the permanent layout. It may be a Christmas Tinplate. They are all great looking. Whatever one grabs our eyes the most I will pick up.  

Some pictures of a nice fall looking train.

 

 

 

 

Love that double span bridge. Wish I had the room for a setup like that. 

The circus just left Boston but not my train room!

 

Joe - I never tire of seeing your layout.

 

Chris - Great looking circus cars.

I guess we can post any of our tinplate, right? If so, here's my favorite engine from my collection of random tinplate. Its roof is unpainted, but that doesn't matter. It runs (and has good wheels), so that's what does matter.

 

Here is my Black 400e pulling my 400 series orange cars to represent fall and Halloween, notice the tinplate haunted house between the Blue Comet and 400e.

Thx, Ken

Tinplate haunted house!?    Where can I get one? 

Chris I actually found those tin haunted houses about 8 years ago at a flea market I bought two of them pretty cool though

Thanks for the great photos! Also, always great to see Joe's layout. 

 

Cordially,
