As a kid in the fifties, I would frequent Kresge's on Cotton Ave in Northeast Philly. They always had a fair amount of Marx and less of Lionel. It goes with the five & dime store mindset. Even though I could not afford hardly anything Lionel made, I looked down upon the Marx offerings, then. Now I look at Marx stuff with a new mindset. You have to give their designers some credit for emulating the higher end trains but making them affordable.
