Ok I'll start this off. Post anything tinplate. Buildings , trains, etc. Ed, even your cans here is a wind up toy a got a while back. It's missing the key, anyone know where to get one or a picture of one so I can reproduce it? Also the top on one side is missing. The lithos are good and it works great. Was a good buy at something like 15$ shipped.
My green 408e is the bigger boat, and is for pulling my six green state cars.:laugh:
My State Cars are all green MTH Tinplate Traditions cars: Ca, Co, IL, Md, Nj, and Ny. 411-416.
I really wanted to test the blue 381e with my six State cars, because you always hear it won’t pull more than three State cars...well it pulls my six State cars with no trouble. Its probably the traction tires that make the difference.
If I ever find a green 381e with Protosounds 3, I will buy it, and use it to pull my green State cars, along with the 408e.
I am looking for the green LTC baggage State car, “Pennsylvania” to add to the set. 11-40010.
THose are really nice. I love the prewar tinplate. It's larger than postwar, and, well, it's tinplate. It really captures the toy train feeling from a century ago.
