Ken Lua’s O gauge tinplate streamliners
Great video! How can you miss when you combine vintage toy trains with a soundtrack by Gershwin? Thanks for sharing.
They sure are B U T FULL Ken! However “I” Love my Modern TRAINS!
Just Great!!!
Wow! What a great history lesson using toy trains to back it up. Music, Marx trains , great videography, and inciteful narration. Not to mention the trains themselves .
This is one of the best vidios I have seen. Keep up the good work.
These trains seems to keep being risen above the times.
An excellent presentation dealing with the historical aspects of the Great Depression and US railroads. The music of Gerswin and the backgrounds added greatly to the atmosphere of that era. The train models were also impressive. Well worth watching.
Very nice.
Truly Classic Trains, classy music, and a history lesson on the early streamliners! Ken’s video made me realize that, even though Marx was probably the least regarded of the “Big 3” toy train makers, its trains brought the fun of toy trains to many who could not afford Lionel or Flyer. These sets re truly classics in every sense of the word. What a lucky man to own these beautiful tinplate sets - and in operating condition!
Outstanding film coupled with great historical insight!
Super Cool Video!!!
Beautiful, Ken. Love those Marx streamliners.
Great vid! Very cleverly done. Good blend of ‘full scale’ and tin-plate history - authoritatively and credibly presented. Wonderful layout.
The best reader train video I have seen.
Pretty darn neat. Aloha!
Very well done and put together! Especially enjoyed the music in the background. It adds a very nice touch to the video. Would like to see more of this type if there is anymore videos such as this.
Very entertaining and informative. A well thought out and nicely executed video.
Fantástico!
Fantastic!
"Boy oh Boy - Electric Streamliners! I had the Green and Cream set and loved it! Great Video keep em coming!
