Reply to "Marx Train pictures"

I've never posted video, so can't help Andre.  Sounds like the 999 is running and manufacturing ozone just the way it was designed!

To keep the photos going, here are a couple ideas for cabooses to run with Marx 3/16 scale trains.

  I bought at auction a pair of prewar AF 3/16 scale, O-gauge cabooses.  One was in better shape than the other, but was missing one coupler, so I tucked the humungous AF link coupler under, then added a Marx tab-and-slot so it could run with Marx 3/16 scale cars.  The other was converted to ATSF.  I moved the cupola, painted and decaled it, made a toolbox, and mounted Marx trucks.  Sounds simple, but the roofwalk was not continued under where the cupola had been, so I cut a length of brass stock and JB Welded in on, smoothing things out with putty.

The very common AF 3/16 postwar caboose has Marx trucks under it.  It's quite a bit smaller than Marx cabooses - those trucks look kinda large under it.IMG_5189-001IMG_2931IMG_5760-002
