Weekend tinplate photos 📸 and videos 📽 8/2/19!

Whew!!!! I was getting nervous! 

  American Flyer Potomac Set 1928

  The catalog

The set

VERY NICE set!

I had a run with a small (2-4-0) and a large (4-4-4) JEP streamlined locomotive and train. Both are running on the same track but alas, no collision!

Regards

Fred

Had us worried!

FRED: I especially like that 4-4-4!

JIM Z: NICE sets!

Take care Chris, we need you for the thread ...

As Fred posted some nice JEP trains I will continue with JEP. Today a not comon red streamlined model just made in 1938. Jep has used the autorail body and coupled it to a small streamlined loco to make a fantasy model. This one is clockwork but it has also been made in electric version.

Have a nice tinplate weekend,    Daniel

Here is the (rather rare) electric version of the red JEP streamliner Daniel mentioned:

Thanks very much for the video Fred, nice to see it running.

Very best,  Daniel

FRED: Was that yours in the u tube video?

Due to a lot of cleaning, organizing, and rearranging at home, my windup train display has been relocated... which gave me an excuse to retire the old windup layout, and build a new (and hopefully better) Torsion Rail Lines for the windup trains:

JAMES: Very IMPRESSIVE layout! Nothing low KEY about your layout! (wink!)

Yes (I seldom show pics or video's of stuff that's not mine).

Got a Snoopy flying ace for my Michael’s airplane. He’s a little big, but better than too small.

I got a replacement light fixture for the clock tower and installed it last night.  

Going to light some more buildings this weekend.

Chris, Glad you are doing well.

Here is my prewar Lionel #228 switcher shifting a Dorfan boxcar.

Nice George. Now you need another plane to do a Red Baron red repaint! 

Lionel 773 Hudson (1964 vintage loco but with one of the older tenders) on the layout. An American Flyer 3020 boxcab also appears in two of the shots. Check out the video for the very nice sounding whistle unit.

I said Michael’s, but it is Hobby Lobby. They make a red tri-level like the Red Barron plane, but they put stars on it instead of the German cross. I’d need to find a figure to be the Barron.

A “new” STD Gauge starter set from 2008 so all are marked MTH Lines. The set was NIB but I had him trash the box, saved about $30.00 in shipping. I’d have pitched the box anyway.

Found a few things on display an in service at the Hagerstown Roundhouse Museum.  Nice facility with very friendly people.

an odd similarity...

Found the above goodies while on vacation.  

I don’t know if this is a Flyer or Lionel station.  I am going to attempt a little soap and water to freshen it up.

Flyer station...

Sorry for the delay guys let’s get going!  Let’s see your tinplate! 🚂

this has happened to me before... you create a post, then walk away for a while before you publish it.  after a time, the forum app forgets the link to your pictures and even though you see them for now, when you reload the page, you will get this "Image Not Found".

you need to throw away the images in your post and re-attach them and that will fix things.

cheers...gary

Gary. Are you and everyone else not seeing the photo? I still see it on my IPad? 😕

The photo is not showing up for me.  Just an "Image Not Found"

Some Ives standard gauge- the 3242 I posted last week, this time with a train of Ives 184-185-186 cars. This is the 1921-24 Type I version of the engine with the narrow motor, and a great runner. I assume this is the "red" instead of the "maroon" color (the coaches being maroon).

Chris - same here - Image not found.

OK see if it works now. 

Much better.
