I couldn’t help myself…

The526 set is for my Great-Grand-Nephew’s 5th Birthday.

The Tin Plate Cars will be replaced with Marx Plastic cars

before I ship it to him.

I couldn’t resist another drink of that Kool Aid…

This one is my birthday present to myself.

Very nice Dave.

I picked up this Marx sparkie set from Pete Thorton’s daughter.

Yesterday I bought another Marx sparkie at a train show.

Then I couldn’t resist this Marx engine for $5. This looks like the electric version of your 401.

you guys are making me jealous…

my planned summer rebuild of the Marxist layout might get bumped up a bit

:wink:

It’s not Marx,

but it is my Favorite Lionel Locomotive…

the Lionel PW 221 Dreyfuss Hudson with the 221W Tender.

Not content to haul freight with the 221 Dreyfuss, I began the hunt for NYC Streamline cars to build a consist. My first acquisition is a Lionel O27 NYC Poughkeepsie Observation Car.

I’ve got the head & the tail to the train, so now I just need to fill in the middle.
