The Louis Marx 3/16 scale series is very collectible in my house.  Here is perhaps my most ambitious effort on one of them, a baggage car made from an ATSF coach, the variation with windows that were only indented and lithographed.  The windows were filled in with putty, except for the ones that were needed.

 

The tender in the second photo is a Lionel coffin tender mounted on 6-wheel trucks made of Lionel Scout, American Flyer and Marx parts.  The Marx 333 loco needed a beefier tender, IMHO.

A British Marx tender and a Japanese floor toy with a Marx 333 motor stuffed inside. The color match of the engine and tender is near perfect.

 

British Marx Engine & Tender 1

Got this custom made engine and tender off the bay. I thought it was a custom Marx CV, but it turns out it is all hand made from wood with a Marx motor and Marx tender.

 

Custom British Marx Loco & British Marx Coaches

The Marx Goose, A cheap Paya knock off front end and frame with a Marx caboose shell on the back. It is powered by a K-Line speeder power chassis. It also has a diesel sound unit for a BUDD RDC.

Goose 2

Marx never made a wrecker in 3/16 so I created my own. Everything is Marx except the side grills.
