Tinplate Toy Trains

There is something special about tinplate toy trains! Check out some fine examples of tinplate trains from the early days and up to the present! Many of the trains here are Standard Gauge, larger than the Lionel O trains that many are familiar with!

What size bulbs bulbs did you use on the bridges

[@NormanAllen-ps9ju]

This was a fine show of a selection of some of the best originals and reproductions ; but why is tinplate always run at breakneck speeds ?? It is hard to enjoy them rushing past !

hi i noticed the multi rail track, did you guys make it up or purchase? thanks scott

[@musicman8942]

I've never seen track like that - you're asking about the track on the outer loop right? Combo of standard and O gauge?

The ones with the wooden ties are offered by Gargraves, while the ones with tinplate rails are custom made.

thank you@@BAKU2K2

[@musicman8942]

This answer makes no sense. You talk about wooden ties and then talk about tinplate rails. I don't see the tie-in. 2 different things.@@BAKU2K2
