A train collection tin




technical

and charm
..












Thomas Guiry Madrid is a collector interested in various topics:
- First , tin toys, mainly brands and PAYÁ RICO. Does not care if they are originals or replicas, because what it will attract is the quality of parts, its beauty and utility. Not interested in toys rusty, with mold, breakage and the like, but you gu sta that look good without having to go to restore, as you want to display them and enjoy them .

- on the other hand, collects everything related to the model railroad, on the scales "G" (train yard), "O" (tinplate trains), "HO" (model trains in plastic injected , resin, or combination of metal and plastics). Scale models also have "N", while acknowledging that this is not his thing. Nor does it attract the scale "Z", which also considered to reach exorbitant prices.

This time, we will introduce in Procoleccionismo his collection of tinplate trains and is that Thomas is going to explain how it started.
And the main principle of this collection, he says, is to be found in his passion for electric trains, which has since he can remember. His first train was a little PAYÁ that brought his father from a trip when I was about 3 years . It was from 2002 when he began to collect pieces of tin, whether or not trains. If you chose the tin is because of the material were the toys I played with as a kid, so I always had the concern to recover pieces of that type. Moreover, as I missed the last train had (his parents took him to repair the engine and never again saw her), as was once was devoted to finding a "surrogate."


know, with respect to the tins, broken steel sheet coated with tin. If the steel provides strength, hardness and malleability, tin gives adhesion, gloss and resistance to corrosion. The implementation of tin spread throughout Europe in the late nineteenth century, although since the eighteenth century toys were manufactured in Germany with this material, specifically the city of Nuremberg. Furthermore, lithographic printing, so important to the success of tin toys, decorative technique was introduced as the year 1870. In Spain, the chromolithograph was used early in the decade of l 20's of last century, until then had been hand-painted toys.
It referred specifically to toy trains, we can say that they have the same age as the real trains that began to circulate between 1830 and 1840, although only the top toy crawling on the floor, no roads. Well understood, at first toy trains built without attention to the scales and other details, but in the late nineteenth century German marks BING (1863 ) and introduced MÄRKLIN scale sizes for the trains and fixed measures for the rails. Subsequently, the British began to market a smaller size. With regard specifically to train in Spain tin, the first t ren was manufactured by the firm Payá Brothers and in 1909, moved Drag and produced a kind of smoke coming from his chimney. The first electric train was built in 1930.

We must remember that the founder of the dynasty Payá, Rafael Payá Picó, was a tinsmith who was engaged in street vending, selling utensils he produced. One of those vessels used by the ice cream and a variety of household objects like pots, lamps, dishes, pans, etc.. His initiative was to play in miniature some of these utensils, they were aimed at children. When her three sons took over the family business in 1905, created in Ibi a company dedicated to making of toys, which first was called "The Sin Rival" and then "Payá Hermanos, SA."
Thomas gets his pieces at flea markets either through Internet sales, in antique shops or directly from individuals. It is very difficult to find these kinds of toys, especially if you're willing to pay what they want, but that is not possible as there is to know where to buy, because prices vary widely and vary greatly from place to place. The exchange with other collectors is not easy in these parts.
What we value most is the general collector of the train and its usefulness in the s entity is essential for proper operation. Indifferent to the scale ("G", "O", "HO", "N") but it is essential to fulfill its role: circular.

t iene Thomas trains in England, Germany, Austria, France, Italy, USA, but most trains are tin is English. Tin trains your choice will PAYÁ HERMANOS, SA For the rest admire the quality of Electrotren, Fleixchmann or Roco.

All these trains has exposed tin estatanterías the board length, and operate on a single track from point to point. Most to scale "HO" as well many of the accessories you have (buildings, trees, cars, people). While her eldest son is also the model railroad enthusiast and helps make models, the truth is not yet excited by the tin trains his father, but we are confident that one day they will succumb to the charms of these devices evoke safe!

A collection of rings pigeon





A ring


commitment
.. -











Diego Gambeta May is a collector of rings that are placed on the pigeons to identify them. These rings are the ID of these birds and contain information from your country of origin and year of birth of the dove and, thanks to the numbers, you tell the region it comes from. In the picture we can see Gabino, the pigeon Diego favorite, wearing the ring on its leg identification blue.


known is the meaning of the orientation of homing pigeons and their resistance to fatigue. They are specially trained to return to his loft, covering long distances and are able to go from 700 to 1000 miles a day, reaching an average speed exceeding 90 km / h. Since antiquity have been used in all countries to send messages, carrying in his legs. These texts are given a very specific name: columbogramas. Armies around the world have also used this system and had always trained pigeons. Until recently still had, in anticipation of that, in an emergency, could miss the latest media. Officially, the English Army was with them until last year 2010 but had ceased to be effective this service since 2006. Indeed, it is curious to know that some pigeons have been decorated war merit, in consideration of services rendered.


identification These rings you will first aluminum were recorded and subsequently have been made of aluminum with text on paper and lined with plastic. Today, these are the used, although there are many countries that the manufactured completely in plastic. In Spain, the step etched aluminum to aluminum and plastic paper was conducted in the year 1979, which coexisted with the two types of rings.


But how Diego happened to make this collection? it tells us that this is a difficult question to answer. The fact is that pigeons have started when I was about 10 years (now has more than 40) and occasionally appeared in his loft a banded dove. Some stayed, others, especially men gers, they went a few days, but those that remained when they reached a certain age they died. Then, it occurred to go keeping the rings takes ban and hung from a string, like many fanciers today. About ten years ago decided to start seriously collecting rings and was asking other friends who also had birds, including hunters, who sometimes had killed unintentionally. And so it was getting copies. By the way, save the system consists of a wooden box with removable rods fiberglass, which puts the rings Diego nations and in order of the year.
The rings are provided by the federations, which are responsible for commissioning manufacture and distribute them among the provinces. There are also calls ring property, you can order any particular individual manufacturers. So does Diego, who puts his own ring to the pigeons, although this type of ring is not the collections.


The rings are made in virtually all countries. The first country in which they were made seems to have been Belgium, around 1890, rather in the 90's of the century. In Spain, the former are of 1928 and the club used a canary.


currently collecting ring dove is widespread, especially in Europe. Rank as the Belgian, Dutch, Germans and Poles, so it is easier to get a ring of any of these countries from Spain. In fact, the oldest ring is Diego is one of France from 1938 with property card (the card is a document certifying that the carrier pigeon that ring is yours.)
Diego Thanks to the Internet has already connected ado with ten collectors as well as three Mexican English, Colombian, three Brazilians and an Argentine, this gives an idea of \u200b\u200bhow widespread this collection type.

By the way we have explained how to use carrier pigeons? for the uninitiated, we must clarify that it is to be given an address and they go directly to carry the mail, but are transported to a place and, when released there, they return to their loft. You do not usually take more than three or four days, they fly day and night. The record for distance covered seems to be that is currently in the 9000 K. Our collector lives in Badajoz and there wait the return of such hard-working and household birds each time they organized a trip "back home." Meanwhile, the collection of rings allowed know the existence of other birds, other people, other countries and hundreds of road trips in the air.
