The cars are still fairly easy to obtain in both large and 3/16th scale wheels
the B&O Caboose comes in a variety of road numbers is desirable for collectors
The set came with 034 track , 1 switch track,
1 automatic uncoupler track & Transformer with track connector.
I've had plenty of train sets, but this one is still special to me .
A couple of railfans are out to get photos of B&O 62 A-A duo
Some more Marx Tinplate Trains
M10000-M10005
I used to pass these by at Various train shows when I was looking
for Marx deluxe plastic cars and loco's.
Now they are some of my favorites.
I never had a s et until 2007
Here are a some photo's of a couple that I have Acquired
Both the M10000 and the 10005 were available in a variety of paint schemes but all
were lettered for the Union Pacific Railroad.

Seaboard Air Line
Mechanical Passenger set
Coming and Going
I was surprised when it made it around
the layout 3 times on 1 windup

Red Mercury wind-up with reversing motor
My son Ben won this on E-bay
We had some problems with the motor
and he located a better one on E-bay ,
We are in the process of re-painting the loco at this time.
Will look nice with fresh coat of paint on the loco
===========================================================================
Here is one I found on Ebay
552 Rock Island Gondola made from a recycled NYC tender
Car looks normal
Until you turn it over.
I guess it was a sheet of NYC tenders that wasn't needed
I have seen these at the Marx meet at York but it's the first

E-7 Diesel Favorites
WP and Allstate
Louis Marx got his money's worth out of the mask for these
same but different paint jobs and I like all 3 of them.

--Big and Little--
Marx 0-27 and HO scale diesels
It's amazing how close all the colors match between the 2 gauges
B units were also available
No Monon cab units were made but they did make this switcher
Not the best looking GP7 or 9 but at least they made an attempt
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Were these ever made
I picked this flyer from 2004 at the York TCA show.
It was in with some New Marx catalogs that I have on file.
This must have been right after the Flynn's quit production
as the address on the
flyer was from the YE OLDE TRAIN & CHRISTMAS SHOPPE.
I can't recall seeing
any of these dummy units for sale.
====================================================================
MARX H.O. Gauge Catalog
When I was a teenager I requested a catalog from Marx.
Thinking it would be O-27 I was surprised to see it was all HO Gauge.
It was put out by the same company that did the small O-27 catalog.
Black And white catalog from Allied Toy distributors
would be the only HO catalog is the only one I ever saw .
====================================================================
====================================================================
====================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I like the E-7 MARX did in O-27 but I wish they would have done F2-F3 or F7 plastic cab unit or even a Road Switcher for O-27 market
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
====================================================================
====================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most H.O. Locomotives and cars were available in same road names as the O-27 line.
Wish they had done that New Haven Box car in O-27.
