I still have all my Marx tin plate in a box somewhere. :shade: Some day I have to finish building a C&NW 4-6-2 that my Dad started scratch building 40 years ago. The running gear, boiler, cab and tender are all built. It just needs a lot of detail and painting. It would never run on tin plate track as the wheels have close to scale profile.
Gosh, I will have to see if I can dig out some pics of my old (very old) O gauge garden layout. Musta been back in the 70's
scratchbuilt I always enjoy European Scratchbuilt locos and stock. Here's a kit built D&H Wood End capoloa Cabiise
Wish I had the space for some o gauge. Up in my loft I have all my Dad's Hornby Tin plate - quite an extensive collection and nearly all of it boxed and in vg to mint condition (apart from the man with the punched in stomach, and a headless person who my sister and I always used to stand behind a notice board so all you could see was his feet!) I must get it all down and setup to take some photos, plus hear that wonderful sound as trains rattle across the level crossing. Excellent scenery work Ed. Alan been admiring your scratchbuild work on your web site (and I loved the n scale logging cars from you):thumbs_up:
Ed- By all means, post what you have! :thumbs_up: Although I am not an O scaler, I always enjoy following what people are doing. I spent many, many years happily collecting and operating Lionel O, and O-27. Not scale. But large trains, with wonderful memories for me! Boxcab E50
Thinking of O makes me want to get another train set like I had when I was a kid. Well, not exactly like.... it was Frisco-less (which would not be acceptable). Charlie
