Happy F.E.F folks, beautiful pictures all.  My contribution today is most certainly not as beautiful and she is showing her age...that being between 90 and 100 years old. She was never cataloged and her history just says "made in the 1920's".   However I can tell you that as of 20 minutes ago, on May 15, 2020, about a century after she was out shopped by her maker, she pulled her passenger train out of the station with not one bit of a protest or hesitation.  Here she is...no brass plates or fancy numbers for her, just a quick stamp job in a contrasting color.  On the side it says (also just stamped in yellow) , "American Flyer Lines" and "Motor 1211"  She is a Steeple Cab type locomotive and the square box like sheet metal headlight housing is original unfortunately the slotted head silver bolt in the front is not !

Happy F.E.F fellows...OBTW I intend to post a few more pictures with her consist in the "Tinplate Photo's Thread".

Best Regards,  Don

Happy F.E.F fellows, celebrating another week without COVID-19 , hope the same for all of you.  I am going to follow the example of Rich Wieman and others and put forward a somewhat patriotic mostly Red-White-Blue picture display in honor of all the men and women who have served our country and the many who have sacrificed their lives in the name of liberty. 

Here is an Air Force RMT "BEEP" with the missile carrying flatcar.

RWB trains 1

Here is the Navy version of the RMT "BEEP" with a Naval observation plane on a flatcar.

RWB trains 2

Not directly Military, but still honoring heroes who risked all and those that gave their lives in the United States Human Spaceflight Program and the race to the Moon.  Sorry the box car is not too relevant, but it was the only one I had in the right color scheme.

RWB trains 3

Most guys know I am a tinplate fan, so here is a prewar American Flyer locomotive pulling an also prewar American Flyer "Air Service" tank car, ready to refuel those SPAD's and Jenny's after WW1

RWB lines 4

We cannot forget the bravery and dedication of the United States Army, so here is a Lionel Army Switcher to close up the display.  At least the Jeep is RWB!

RWB trains 5

Happy Memorial Day Everyone
