@trumpettrain- WOW Patrick what a great picture portfolio. Great scenes for sure. Thanks for posting.
My offering this fine (and sunny) Sunday is much more humble. You know in my experience, sometimes in the "collecting" part of the hobby (which I am in) finding the simple, humble, and common is the most difficult. Why? Because over their history such components are thrown out, lost, misplaced, etc because they do not gather much attention. Well today I have one of those. The Hafner Company, always produced clockwork trains, Mr. Hafner said he felt electric trains were too expensive to be a toy. One of the last models by the company was this #1010 streamlined loco which was initiated in the late 1930's and offered by the company until it was sold to Wyandotte Toys in 1956. However, to my earlier point, Hafner rarely every offered a steam engine + tender as a pair. The engine almost always was a separate item and you had to buy the tender separately if you wanted one. Even when you bought the loco as a separate item it did not automatically come with the tender. Over the course of time, Hafner produced several very decorated tenders, BUT what I wanted was their simple, black, plain, tender to go with my black/silver 1010 loco. WOW was this tough to find! In fact, being honest, I bought an entire train set at a train show last year JUST TO GET THE TENDER! So here is my (Type 1- full aero shroud on top of boiler) Hafner 1010 loco AND TENDER. Note that the Type 1 1010 with full aero shroud on top and full length skirts was the first of the 1010 Type's offered by Hafner but was still available both pre and post war and came in several colors (red, black, green, blue and beige with various contrasting skirt colors).

View from the front quarter...note fixed key, a Hafner trademark and the full aero shroud on the boiler top. The tender follows behind in plain black elegance.

A better look at the (very unassuming but hard to find) simple black tender. Also note, with Hafner trains the "tab" for their tab/slot coupler went up instead of down...Mr. Hafner believed this helped the trains not to uncouple when running. OBTW, in case you missed it when I mentioned it before, when asked "where did you get the number 1010 from?, John Hafner - the son running the company in its later years, simply said..."Its the number on the street address of our factory in Chicago".

Well hope you have a great Sunday everyone and a great week upcoming.
Best Wishes, Don
