where to find tinplate line side acsesories
Posted by John Busby on Wednesday, August 24, 2005 6:39 AM
Hi all
I am not normaly interested in tin plate due to what I
concider OTT collectors prices and I am an operator not collector of trains.
Where am I lkely to find a tin plate train track side sign or
something like that in reasonable condition a replica will do
Wanted as a conversation starter so must not look out of proportion
to LGB trains be able to stand alone and must not cost an arm or leg.
regards John

I'm not sure whether you are asking about a full-size replicas of railroadish signage or accessories for tin-plate toy trains. For the latter, I recommend http://trainmarket.com - decent prices on old Marx, AF, etc.
