You guys know a thing or two about my affinity for Marx 6" tin and also the refresh I did on that old clockwork CV. If you've watched for a while, I've gotten further and further away from the Lionel plastic stuff and deeper into tin with the addition of a host of Marx goodies including a tunnel and minty control tower. It wasn't just Marx though, there was that very sharp, complete Hafner set, and then this Mecanno Hornby #40 reversing clockwork. It's just interesting. Tin, for me gives the best "play factor" with the noise and shine of the cars and buzzy old locomotives or dingy clockwork bell. Don't need to spend thousands of dollars on the best and brightest when the locomotives smoke without smoke units!
