Don't laugh..It's unique..

Now that does not look bad at all. Thanks for sharing with us.

All that matters is that you like it!

 wow ,that 408 would look mighty nice with the new 200 girls cars...!!

terry,

 

I agree...they should look well with her brother as well...  I was thinking that the passenger cars would look pretty good with the Pink 400e as well.

I think the Boys and Girls sets from MTH the last couple of catalogs are really colorful also. Just something about the colors and the cars all going together well. I really like them and if I had the $$$, would have them both! Maybe someday...

Glad you were able to get these. 

I'd like to see how a train of alternating pink and blue cars looks.

 

My pink 408 is two-tone with a darker roof; kinda eases the pepto-bismol look a little.  

Use it on a string of 200 freight, and you know, it doesn't look that odd. You can get away with anything in tinplate.

 

I just learned recently that Lionel actually had a pink 408 back in the day.  They aren't common, but it was a vintage color.

 

 

SunRise Special,

   Nothing to laugh at, serious girls train, simply fantastic Tin.

I have the O girls tin plate set and it was real popular at the last show I ran it. I have the O boys set on order, but if it slips any more I will have to cancel it.

Congrats on finding your desired item.  I don't operate Tinplate but that is a nice shiny set.  If you are happy your trains are happy.  

Very nice my friend! It 's all good when it comes to tinplate! Enjoy!

These are so cool! You tinplate folks are really pushing me to make a first acquisition!

Very cool!

I like it.  I just recently order the 400E Girl's set along with all of the cars.  I mentioned it's not everyone's cup of tea, but if you like it that's all that matters.

 

As someone else mentioned I'd like to see an add-on car for the SG girl's set of a stock car.  Don't know why they skipped it.

 

No laughing here. Just Choo Choo envy. My wife and I have seen that set over the years and we love it! Her especially.

I have an old 403E outfit in fair condition. I think it will become a girls or boys set project someday.

Nice find and aquisition.

I like it and actually looked hard at that but building a new std gauge layout is starting to add up. Something has to go

the 408 blue set,,sunrise,when was that produced,,cant find it on the product locator,,,nice ,,very very nice!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments.  I have to admit, I thought my three daughters would think that this set was cool.  When I ask "Isn't it pretty neat?" No response for a couple of minutes... Then my one daughter takes her eyes away from her Iphone for a quick second and replies "Eh, Do they have purple?... I guess maybe you could run it at Easter?"  .  Excitement deflated... Oh well...I guess it will have to grow on me.

 

terry,

The other 408e is turquois.  It was cataloged in 2005 Tinplate V1 along with the Pink, Mustard, Red/Blue, and two tone brown

Your daughter has rare taste. They made a MTHRRC purple comet. Good luck finding that one. I guess it is quite rare.

wow turquois,,never would have thought that,,,nice,,,,will have to put that on my hit list,,,,thanks terry

Noticed the SGMA banner hanging in the background.  When will we be able to see your "girls" trains running at a SGMA event?
