That was most excellent! My kids and I enjoy toy trains, emphasis on 'toy'. I see these Marx sets on eBay for very little money. Can you point me to some resources for repainting them? Thanks in advance.
Very nice, I am pretty sure the youngsters would get more enjoyment out of those 2 sets than the run of the mill starter sets. Excellent video, thanks for sharing.

Here is an idea, if you have some old trains that are in poor cosmetic shape, you might try repainting them in a children's theme for your kids or grand kids. A friend of mine painted up 2 sets of old Marx trains for his grand kids, one as a Batman Train and one as a Princess Train. It's just a simple spray paint job with stickers made on the computer and printed out.
Warning: I would only paint them up like this if the cars and engines are in bad shape, there is no sense in painting up a nice looking piece of history.
Here is a video of the result. I think they worked out well and the kids love them.
