My Custom painted Marx

I always liked the Marx E-7 A & B unit diesels. It was a very good model with a

lot of the correct details of the real loco.  Wish they had made a better

motor and more weight for better traction. And they should have been

painted for a few more Railroads. 

I started painting these in 1975, the first was a B&O A-B set

 with 4 passenger cars then the rest.

Now if I was in the Marx paint shop back in the 50's, I would have painted some like these.

 

Atlantic Coast Line A & B

 

                                                   

   B&O Capitol limited Passenger set                                                                    New York Central                

                                                                                                               with Lightning stripes

 

 

Santa Fe A&B units in full warbonnet scheme

 

The Missouri Pacific in the Eagle scheme makes a sharp looking E7A unit

 

 I also like the WABASH

 

I was into flyer for a while and always liked the Silver Flash and the Rocket, so I did

one for those schemes too.
