Tin litho buildings by Skyline

You have examples of all four of the tin buildings that Skyline produced.

Those are really striking examples of great lithography. Thanks for posting photos.

To my knowledge the only thing you are missing is the freight platform. I'll try and get a picture posted tonight after work. They are very colorful.

The H&H litho houses go well also mixed in with Skyline. There are 5 versions of the H&H.

Ed 'Ice" Berg has pictures of the Skyline tin buildings posted on the Yahoo site "toy tin litho buildings"

Ron M - who missed the freight station

Interesting how they cataloged their tin (metal) pieces:

M-1 Metal Passenger Station (Middletown)

M-2 Metal Interlocking Tower

M-3 Metal Freight Shed

M-4 Metal House (Oak Park)

M-5 Metal House (Scarsdale)

At about 9:22 of this video you will see a grouping of my Skyline, including 4 of my M-3 freight platforms.

Did the same company that made the metal buildings make the paper/cardstock ones also? They're both named Skyline.

What are the platforms worth? I ask because I have one under my layout.

Ron and Steve, thanks for all the information and the video about these items. Its a rare collectible that allows you to have the entire line by only collecting five things! Also, thanks for the link to the Yahoo group, which I have just joined. Tin litho buildings are a passion of mine.
