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.
