Hello All--Today I picked up a few items which cost me a grand total of $5....pictured below...Tyco caboose, nice new Cox box, new pole and sign set, billboard, and a tinplate boxcar. Can anyone tell me more about this box--it is labeled for Fleischmann, made in Western Germany, has plastic roof and frame, but nice tinplate sides and doors. I didn't realize this firm made U.S. prototypes, or used tinplate.

Hello,
Fleischmann made American models (some of them americanized) until 1973. Just to mention a few of them:
Steamers (Pacific, Mikado, some smaller, all european/americanized)
Baldwin Switcher (C&NW, others undec.)
FA-2 (UP, SF, NH)
F7A (SF, CB&Q, NH, UP)
Tinplate Passenger cars of european origin in US-roadnames (NH, NP, UP, PRR)
Santa Fe double decker coach and diner (plastic)
and a big range of freight cars (tinplate and plastic)
If you browse this site (http://www.effert.de), and click on the chapter "Sammlermodelle", you will find some of those models. Probably babelfish offers the possibility of a translation for those few who don´t speak German [:D]
