Reply to "Tail End Tuesday"

Well hello T.E.T. fans - Sitka that layout is really looking good, great pictures.  Today I have something somewhat unusual, it's a Marx caboose ---- or maybe it isn't???  First its for the Arkansas RR, which does not appear in any Marx reference book I have.  Next although the mold is identical in most aspects to a typical lightweight Marx 4 wheel plastic caboose, it does not say "Marx" anywhere on the mold.  Now Mr. Marx was not shy, i have not encountered a Marx product of any sort that does not say Marx on the item somewhere.  Even more interesting, this mold has the circular raised areas ahead of the side windows fore and aft but they are blank, not imprinted with the Marx logo.  So here is the "Marx" (maybe) Arkansas RR caboose.

Note in both views you can see the circular area where a Marx logo would normally appear but its just plain. As best I can tell when comparing it to my other Marx lightweight plastic 4 wheel cabooses, the mold is identical.
