Marx High Speed Trains
Posted by hugoroundhouse on Wednesday, February 16, 2011 9:26 AM

Good morning all-

Anyone know of a source for either a sticker or decal to reface a Marx "High Speed Trains" sign?  It has a bell on the post, with the sign above.

Thanks in advance, Jim E.

If your "High Speed Trains" sign is the same as mine (mine doesn't have the bell, just the sign), it's painted (or maybe lithographed) on.  Others may be more knowledgeable than I, but I've never seen or heard of a stick-on replacement.

It might be possible to make one yourself, by scanning in an intact sign and printing the image on label paper.  Assuming you have a scanner and a printer, of course.

I had the one without the bell and have the one with the bell. They look to me to be hand painted. I think that with Marx, if it wasn't lithographed, it was hand painted.
