@Sitka - Hey Mate, really come to enjoy your "nightime" pictures. Thanks for your mention. @leapinlarry - Thanks Larry for your comment. Those observation cars are really nice when lit up and that B&O locomotive (4-6-0 or 4-8-0 ?) looks like one that might even work with my tight curves, love the lights on the tender @Bill Swatos - thanks for the comments on my new cabooses' and sorry the PRR is not for sale...yet! I will see if I can get her smok'in for next T.E.T. Thanks also for the comment on the Marlines Marx set. I was very thrilled to find it so intact. You are very correct, sometimes the cheapest thing in a line of toys is the most difficult to find 70+ years later. They are more cheaply made as you pointed out and hence less durable and unlike Lionel's that represented a fair piece of most families modest Christmas budget, these Marx trains were often victim of Mom's "clean up" initiatives and thrown away. @trumptrain - Patrick, if I have not done so before, let me compliment you on both your photography and your imaginative ways of "setting the scene", great posts.
Best wishes everyone, hope you are having a great week.
Don
