SteamWolf posted:For those of you that were curious, this is how the Marx 21 and UA 2000 stack up together. They are very different in quite a few ways. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves, sorry some of them are dark:
It's also interesting to note that the Marx power unit was supposed to be placed at the very head of the train and facing forward, ahead of the dummy. The UA power unit was supposed to be placed behind the dummy, back to back with the lead unit so the motor is in the middle. My lead UA doesn't have a coupler on the pilot, so this is only a thought.
Wow, never knew the Unique Art train was so large !
I always thought the Marx diesel was large ,especially for a Marx ,but I'm just really impressed with the Unique Art.
