Great Info & Photos thanks for taking the time to share with us! I have some questions -
Anyone have some info on Marx Track? I’m wondering how to sort out my box of track it is mixed Marx 3 rail and Lionel o-27, I once read that the way the rail bottoms either fold up or down is a good indicator. Which is which?
Also I’d be lnterested in seeing some 50s battery powered or plastic wheeled cars with the punched in place tab & slot couplers, I have some of these cars but no loco, I’m wondering what would have pulled it? And how many different cars were available in this style? Anyone have some?
I have a Union Pacific tender & Caboose, a B&O Gondola (I was able to make the gondola from a spare parts body with a bad frame and a good plastic wheel frame I had) Did Marx ever make a yellow B&O gondola in this style car?
All my marx cars have 4 plastic wheels and Punched Tab & Slot Couplers…Can these cars be modified to run behind a Marx electric loco? They jam up & short out the center rail when it goes in reverse.
