Who Doesn't Own a Piece of Marx?

The Wheaton commuter station also has a plastic roof. I bought a Wheaton a while back and a friend bought me a present, which he found at a toy show. It was the roof! Marx, always fun to collect.

I usually dont buy Marxs (and keep them for a long period of time), unless I have the money to blow or unless I haven't bought any trains in a good while.

The only Marx piece of equipment that I have is an old transformer that went to a model race car set from the 60's. I am using it to power lights on my layout, the miniture lights that I have are incandescent bulbs so either A.C. or D.C. will work fine.

Mike, thanks for the great job on the Marx guides!- they are informative and helpful. Thanks for providing the link.

I have to agree with Jim about their toy-like appeal. My first set was a Marx in 1954 and I just beat that thing to death and it still runs. Nothing like building big Lincoln Log barriers and ramming that train at full speed into them. It was definietly a "participatory experience" between my brother and myself.

I wonder if today's entry level sets would endure that punishment.

I'm going to go find that set and see if there any Lincoln Logs still around :)
