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.
