See the amazing Marx-Tronic - Train with the Brain
Posted by dsmith on Saturday, January 28, 2012 3:04 PM

My Marx-Tronic "Train with the Brain" is finally up and operating.  It has a very cleaver automatic feature that will switch, load, reverse, couple and uncouple the cars.  I believe the set is from about 1959.  Here is the video showing it in operation.

David,

Very neat train. Never saw anything like it. Simple yet complicated. I would get old fast for most kids. 

Tks,

Kev.

Very interesting. I've seen a few of these on ebay but never saw one in operation. Thanks for sharing it with us! Hard to believe she's 53 years old.
