Thor and Audrey's O27 Tinplate World, Part 2


Audrey's farm. For fun, a yellow Tyrannosaurus Rex was placed in the corral with the horses.  Children found it quite amusing.

The animated train passes behind the lighthouse.

Close-up of Lighthouse scene with its seacoast characters.

Buzz Lightyear and Woody handcar zips past the castle.  Old tin station is in foreground.

Skaters on pond beside Victorian carousel.  Antique metal skaters were modeled after Sonja Henie, a popular Olympic skater and actress of the 1930s.

Old wooden toy castle from Britain is festooned with knights.  We cast the knights ourselves in metal, and paint them by hand.  Buzz and Woody zip by on a handcar.

You can see the Blue Comet to left, the NYC Empire State express,and to the left the classic 45 Gateman accessory.  The Gateman is one of the most popular accessories ever made by Lionel.  Operating crossing gates by Marx add to the fun.
