I always wondered why Marx made the Santa Fe 21 so much bigger than the rest of the trains he made.
Then I saw one next to a Lionel F3. They are the same size!
How many kids asked Santa for a $50 Lionel and got a $13 Marx Santa Fe 21 instead?
Individual sale 21's came with a coupler adapter to allow running with knuckle couplers. I use mine to pull Lionel postwar Santa Fe aluminum cars. Looks great together.
