I recently came into some Marx (Marks) trains. Not being real familiar with this name or even this gauge, can anyone tell me or point me to information about these early trains?? thanks! Tony in CA
Marx actually made some decent stuff. Very collectible. Not sure if they made any S Gauge stuff. When I was a kid, I'd always grab their O-27 electric switches. Could pick them up dirt cheap. Worked fine with my Lionel. Boxcab E50
When I was a kid I had a lot of Marx trains, 027 gauge. Original cast iron locomotive was a 2-4-2, 999 I think. Had lots of rolling stock, nice cars, including boxes, tanks, gons, hoppers, PFE reefers, cabeese and passenger cars. I always wanted a Lionel Hudson, and got the Marx plastic one which was ATSF, 3450, I think. It growled like a dog when it ran but I loved it. Wish I still had them. :teeth:
