Videos of Running Marx

 How can anyone watch that and not smile?

Cool !!  I love my Marx trains.

Hooray! 

 Cool Marx Freight Train.

     Always fun to see these classic trains still at work, on the USA main lines. 

I always enjoy the Marx videos. thanks!

Great Video! Thanks

Marx trains are great. Nice layout too!

Here's my little ol' Marx video

Here's a mugshot of two of my favorite's, 999 and the Mercury.

I wish i had done a figure 8..very cool...good reason to have an interlocker tower.  Who made yours? 

The Lumar Valley portion of my layout. I will be reworking it a bit "soon" to add  an elevated line for my New Marx IRT set.

Steve,

Those aluminum passenger cars are heavy for those Santa fe's are you running two power units?

Electroliner,

I made my tower. LOL

It is a selectively compressed, sized to fit, toy train styled model of the old Boylan tower that once stood in Raleigh, NC. I drew it up on the computer and printed it out on cardstock. Even the semaphore heads. Thanks!

Wow...it looks great. I thought it was tin.

I took your advice and found the "aluminum" tape you recommended to redo my Marx streamline cars. The layout colors really pop out..Your layout and Handy Andy's makes me want to backdate my own. I just found an unusual Marx two story colonial house which is not a doll house. It has lithographed vines growing on the exterior...Once it arrives, I can post a picture of it..I need your expertise to confirm it's Marx as that was the claim of the seller. 

For all their faults, the Marx 21's are pretty cool locomotives. When you realize the Marx engines are lithographed sheet metal and not plastic like Lionel's, it's just amazing!

Thanks! That's the look I was shooting for! 

Here are 3 Marx videos from my layout...

First up, Marx Battery Operated Trains:

Next, a recent video of a Marx Mechanical Swing-Peg Commodore Vanderbilt:

Finally, a video of a lot of the major variations of the Marx Mechanical CV:

No matter if it's windup, battery, or AC powered... gotta love those Marx trains!

My original set from about 1956.....this is from 2010.

This was A video intended for showing my work in progress layout and engines so this ends with A Lionel 1055 but the stars are the Marx 898 and 999.
