Fascinating! I don't recall MTH doing a "Lincoln Funeral Train" 4-4-0, specifically the "Nashville." Is this a repaint? If so, it's a great job! Same with the conductor/ baggage car.
MTH made this back in 2004, Item number 30-1341-1

Thanks for the response Spankybird! Don't know how I missed that one in 2004, wasn't paying attention, I suppose. That's another MTH 4-4-0 I'll have to keep my eyes out for.
And Northwoods, thanks for giving us fellow, uh, "Marxists" a look at your "William Crooks"!
Firelock76,
My pleasure. Over the years I have developed an appreciation for what many of you "Marxists" have enjoyed about Marx toys. I've learned a lot about Marx trains from this forum and several others.
Here is another sample of some of the Marx in my collection.

Looks like Sgt Pepper and the boys have a few followers.
spankybird, wow I never knew those engines had that much overhang must be dicy if another train is at same spot while the cow catcher is intruding on other tracks!!
