Weekend tinplate photos/videos 10/11/18

Nice car, Chris! Sort of a suped-up version of the Lionel #68. Very cool.

Nice car Chris, much more modest is the famous french 2 HP,

Have nice tinplate weekend and a happy York week,   Daniel

This 1680 was in a box of trains I picked up a few weeks ago at an estate sale. Nothing special but some PO drilled four holes in the base. wonder what the purpose might have been?

This Märklin restaurant car I found last week. It is a redecorating project based on a Märklin 1 gauge restaurant car from the 42 cm series made in the thirties. The CIWL cars of that series has catalogue number 1846/1. The lettering and  the paint are not original. Also the CIWL emblem is not original; Märklin used printed emblems and this is a brass cast emblem which looks good.

I included in my catalogue/e-book of CIWL models: http://sncf231e.nl/ciwl-carriages-by-fredsmall/

Fred that Marklin car is beautiful!!

Here’s my gorgeous 261 pulling frieight amongst tinplate houses

I use 1/32 scale vehicles and figures on my layout.  They work well with the smaller Lionel, Flyer and Ives  standard gauge rolling stock and buildings.

A Dorfan Croc that did not age well. Good view of the wheel bearings.

Two Dorfan front ends with the Orange 3920 that I just got running this week.

Wow Steve, Had only heard about this. What a shame? Can it be fixed?

This is a piece I bought that was re gauged and a running. I had a car just like it when I was a kid but it was just a push car. When I got it I repainted it similar to the post war Lionel inspection car added windows and finished it off with LED’s including the flashing beacon. I added the tires from a 1/24 car I had.  Let’s see your tinplate! 

Great looking car Chris!!

Joe, I do not plan on fixing it. Too much of it is warped and broke. Just a conversation piece to show what Dorfan went through.

one of the last shots of the layout before it gets chopped up.

hate to hear that Tim

A little Prewar extravaganza with a Lionel 254 double header (the green one is a 254E the mojave one is a 254), as well as an Ives train headed by a 3254R, with the Leland Detroit monorail in action in the background. Enjoy.

New cars to add to my AF 4696.

NICE wide gauge AF freight!  

Here is the Marklin 2875 I got a while back. I will have to make some doors but the litho is good for me otherwise.
