I have a schonner (circa 1888) live steam train set .it consists of train and tender in brass.1 tin plate passenger carriage.1 tin plate goods carriage.and full set of lines . The train is missing it stack and whistle..I would like to replace these as I want to sell train set complete . The tinplate carriages are badly rusted . (With tin plate how do you decide ,when to restore or not to restore .). Any advice on where to get replacement parts and where to get a fair valuation would be welcome .

Hi Jacques.thanks for your interest and reply . I have a photo of a train the same as mine but with the stack whistle .I will send it to you .(having trouble downloading photos at moment .) I also think the safety valve on mine is not correct. It looks like a mamod. Thanks again . roger gardner .
