First of all, it would probably be much better to post this topic under the Classic Toy Trains forums instead of here, you'll get much better responses. Yes, there's still metal stuff. Lionel makes a variety of die cast steam engines. If you are thinking of tin when you say "metal", Marx makes tinplate lithographed trains in O gauge three-rail. New Lionel steam engines will run you anywhere from $100-$1500. The cheaper $100 ones have smoke, but no sound. Lionel does, however, make a boxcar that makes steam locomotive sounds and the train pulls it. Lionel isn't he only O gauge manufacturer out there, there's also K-Line, MTH and Williams. All of these manufacturers' trains are compatible with each other, so you don't have to buy just one brand. Websites for these manufacturers are www.lionel.com www.k-linetrains.com www.mth-railking.com www.williamstrains.com There's quite a variety of stuff out there, so you should be able to find something you like. There are many hobby shops that carry these trains and also ebay is an excellent place to find them, sometimes at lower prices. Also, many older vintage Lionel trains are still out there for sale if you'd prefer something like that. Good luck n finding what you want and have fun!
