Got Tinplate Charm...?
MARX Fun Run at Pop’s Trains Pt.2 - YouTube
Afternoon all.
My standard gauge trainns have grown in collection.
Doing this one first as it shows my Strphen Girard set completely.
Now a shot of all thats on this shelving minus the observation car of the Stephen Girard set.
Straight across from the Stephen Girard set is set #403 which consist of a 402 ( dual motor engine ) 419 combo car, 418 Parlor car, 431 Dinning car and 490 Observation car.
Above the Stephen Girard set is another 403 set but the cars are sample cars sent to MTH the engine a prewar 402, the Light Green set is set # 409E it has a 408E in apple green, 419, 418, 431, & 490 all in Apple Green, 3rd shelf up starting on left is set number 348E, 380E engine and 429 combo car, 428 Parlor car and 430 Observation car all in dark Green, then I have another 402 with 429 combo car, 431 Dinning car, and 430 Observation car, the 428 Parlor car and the correct engine #9 all in orange are missing. I have the 428 but it is in the process of being repainted as it was in very rough condition. I'm on the look out for a #9E in orange to complete the set. Top shelf is all prewar 500 series freight cars and a 390E that I put together. Other side of room top shelf is a 400E ( Lionel remake 1988 I think) with a mixture of Lionel prewar and MTH remake of 200 series freight cars
Sorry I forgot to mention the set straight acroos from the dark green set as another 403 set, the difference between it and bottom set is the bottom set was made in 1923/24 and this set would of been 1925-27, the difference is bottom shelf cars have 4 wheel trucks and this set has 6 wheel trucks. Also the bottom shelf 402 has switch on back of lights to turn off and on where the 1925-27 set engine doesn't.
Just about the time I think I have all of the American Flyer accessories I will ever own someone (mersenne6) points out one I don't have. Well I do now. Here is American Flyer station #99. The litho says its a #97 but with the addition of the lights Flyer marketed it as the #99.

Now THAT'S the kind of Marxism I can give 100% approval to!

Quite a collection! The word "impressive" barely does it justice!
