Well...the Saturday before Easter was my birthday. My family took me out to lunch at a Seafood restaurant called, "The Tides." It is located on Bodega Bay (where they filmed Alfred Hitchcock's, "The Birds") along the beautiful Sonoma County Coast here in California. We had a great time! I have three wonderful grown kids (two daughters and a son). They gave me a wonderful gift! They pooled their money together and got me tickets to an aviation museum and...a flight on a B-17G Flying Fortress bomber! Besides trains...I love planes...especially World War II aviation.
To make a long story longer my wife and I used the tickets and went to the Hiller Aviation Museum in San Carlos, California (25 minutes south of San Francisco). Oddly enough...on this day at the museum...they had an O Scale layout. It was an old tinplate set-up of German trains! So I snapped a few pics with my trusty Nikon and here they are. It was strange that this was featured there as a special display for one day. I did throw in some plane pics, since that is the reason we went there. I got the best of both worlds...trains and planes!
Question: Anyone recognize what type of trains or tinplate these are? They're apparently vintage.
