Part of the Marx mystique is the robustness of their construction. So many times an old Marx loco is brought out of storage in a garage or barn or basement and covered in crud and/or rust, that with a little cleaning and oiling will run like new. Even today, well played with trains usually have all their pieces and parts still attached. At least the metal ones anyway. They were inexpensive, but not cheap junk. They may not have been perfect O scale, but they brought joy to a lot of kids over the years.
