Il Grifone Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) Looking for something else (as always!), I came across this new heading titled "Before Rivarossi". Obviously it's aimed at the Italian market but no less interesting for that. There is some very rare stuff illustrated. ('Google Translate' may be of assistance or I can help if necessary.) http://www.rivarossi-memory.it/Varie/Prima_di_RR/Prima_di_RR.htm Yet more of that awful yellow tinplate ballast! and some more deadly electrics....

RMweb Premium Neil Posted November 22, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 22, 2020 Thanks for the link. I've always thought that the Bing tank engines had bags of charm but I'm also taken with the printed tinplate wagons in the Trix Express set. The electrics do look lethal though.

RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted November 22, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 22, 2020 I like the tendency to default to LNWR livery! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sncf231e Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Bing 00 was a high quality product. The one I have is still in running condition: Regards Fred 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted November 22, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) Brighton Toy and Model Museum among its huge collection of tinplate railway items has a fair selection of Bings. I inherited both the red and green locos and red coaches and some wagons, from my Dad - while he was still alive! Unfortunately none survived my childhood.

cypherman Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Hi all, How early is early. Does the 1930/40's count. If so here are some pictures of a Hornby 0 gauge layout I used to help run. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted November 23, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 23, 2020 I forgot that I have an album on the Toy & Model Museum in my gallery, should you want to see other tinplate trains. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Carne Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 A display of JeP Mignon I did at the Beckenham & West Wickham Model Railway Club vintage show a few years ago. I have since sold it as a collection to a friend, so it's all still together. Mark 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
