Yeah, you know what they say, once a Marxist, always a Marxist.
I think the orange one will be a bit small compared to most postwar Lionel cars that it would presumably be loading. I think the red one is just a bit bigger, though I am not sure of that.
The one nice thing about these cranes is that they seem to be pretty affordable. I think if you bought one and didn't like it, you could resell it for close to what you paid.
The bad thing about most Marx items is that they make you want more Marx items.
Merry Christmas,

I'm not a Marx guy even though I do have the two control towers on the layout.
Question to MARX people:
What do you think of the Derrick? I've seen two different ones. One is a 412 which is black and orange and one is a 422 which is black and red.
Do you think it would blend in with a postwar Lionel theme?
As always, many thanks.
