As a collector of vintage tin toys, I immediately loved the Marx No 200 trolley. It looks like the electrification was well done and has only enhanced the value of this car. The cool lithography looks to be in great shape for it's age and gives a nice snapshot of the 1920's. Thanks for sharing.

I do my best to keep the snow away from the rails, use a small paint brush to tidy the edges. When time to remove, I sweep away from the rails then since I do not have loose ballast, I can clean the tracks with a vacuum. The snow is a lot of work, did not do snow last year, may not do it again this year. Thanks for watching.

We boil water add 1/4 cup of sugar to 1 cup of water, let it cool in the fridge, easy to make, a gallon at a time. It is better not to give them anything with artificial color in it. The color on the feeder is all that is needed to attract them. We have 6 feeders and they drink them dry daily. Woodpeckers and Orioles drink it too.
