MORE FABULOUS VINTAGE WEBSITES, FINDS, ETC. FROM EVERYTHING CROTON

Very exciting finds at the Peekskill Attic Treasures flea market on Sunday--TWO LIONEL TRAIN CATALOGs--one from 1975, the other from 1976; click on the photo. Lots of "putzing inspiration" for our crafters. Hope to have the catalogs scanned for the next FOR TRAIN LOVERS ONLY here at Everything Croton.

Updated: see more of the catalog here  http://everythingcroton.blogspot.com/2013/04/for-train-lovers-only-2013-10.html

 Another great H&H Sales tinplate house at http://www.toyconnect.blogspot.com/2013/04/h-h-sales-model-40-hilltop-house-yellow.html

 A reader who inherited a number of putz houses from her aunt asks: How do you know what size window and door replacements to get? Answer--get a sampler pack--click on the link--and scroll down the page at CardboardPutzHouseDotCom http://www.cardboardputzhouses.com/marketplace/cellophane/cellowindows.htm

 Hi Sara--sorry you lost out on the vintage toy wind-up train at Ebay--but doesn't this repro look quite similar http://www.misternostalgia.zoovy.com/product/EXPR1/EXPRESS-TIN-TRAIN-3-Car-wind-up-Tin-Toy-NEW-Schylling.html

    Here's an irony, the yellow tinplate H&H house was replicated almost exactly in Bachmann's Plasticville Cape Cod house, popular in the 1950s.

    A while back, Howard Lamey and I created the resources to make a "lackie" version of the Lionel tinplate Cape Cod houses. Then we adapted those resources to make one that was more or less a tribute to the Plasticville one as well. If seeing the yellow tinplate house whet your appetite for more, check out the Howard's How-To article at:

    Best of luck, all,
    Paul
