Well if those things are foundlings you've been "founding" 'em pretty well!  Nice collection!

Why, thank you kindly for all the gracious words!  Embarrassed

Norma Kitteh fondly THINKS she helps out... ;)  The spray booth shows what one can do with a cardboard box, an old steel licence plate and a magnetic shop LED lamp!

This is brilliant stuff here.  I saw all your Photobucket things as well.  I'm sure that kitty kat helps a lot!  Your modeling is an inspiration (and that's coming from a strict 2-rail SCALE modeler).  Your spray booth made my smile too!  I LOVE these old toy trains, and you are a true artist!  Cannot stop looking at all this over & over again!  As I've already stated: brilliant!  Keep posting please.

Yanno, for a supposed trolley guy, I've got the deuce of a lot of steam locomotives!

And this doesn't include The Cane Train or Lil' Stinky...

Interesting thing is that with the exception of the streamliners, most of these locos are foundlings I've acquired in the past year or so...

Outside track (R-L): Lionel 1668 (1937), Lionel 1666 (1948), Lionel 2025 (1949).

Inside track: Lionel 1688 (1938), pair of Marx 666es (1950s).
