My journey into Standard Gauge Tinplate has come and gone. But I did save one O-Gauge tinplate train for days when the tinplate charm strikes me.
Anyway... I couldn't help but notice that today -- mixed in with MTH's announcement of additional Z-6 Challengers -- they're bringing Tinplate Tradition Monorails back to market. ETA is December 2024. Personally, I would have picked something other than monorails to resurrect MTH's Tinplate Tradition line. But hey... what do I know???

When I talked to Rich foster in the April york he mentioned of the tinplate that would be resurrected this year if possible. I did post it here on the OGF.

A return of Tinplate would be welcome. The few places that still make it are very expensive. We have a nice layout at the clubhouse owned by one of the members and all enjoy running trains on it.

There is already a parallel thread on this topic in the Tinplate Board where it properly belongs. I have a wooden ruler and I know how to use it!   |

It is likely the most simple thing to manufacture and which they still have the tooling for which may account for the selection. Not one of my favorite items but it is a start.

This is the board that most everyone reads, lets not muck it up with a bunch of subtitles.

My foray into tinplate has come and gone too. I still appreciate it and I'm glad to see that MTH is back to making it. I did notice a few months ago that they had just released some Standard Gauge track.

This is the board that most everyone reads, lets not muck it up with a bunch of subtitles. Not to worry it is a tongue in cheek reference to over moderated forums of all types. However to your comment if most everybody as you state reads/posts to this Board regardless of topic why then do we have the other Board topics? Just asking. This is not an argument.

I was told that the 400e will be the first to be resurrected. But I will believe it when I see it.

If it is made, it will be interesting what the MSRP will be. Will it be $2000 like I see for NOS on EBay? Or higher because it will be under warranty, or lower? I bet the MSRP will be $2100.00.
