Marx was way ahead of their time on this one. Feast your eyes on this haunted house.

Paul- That must be a very rare Marx Toy. I've never heard or seen one at all when I was a Kid in those days.

I'm already looking at the Transylvania Docksider in the new catalog, two mains one for the 0-6-0 and one for the 4-4-0. [:o)]

That is a neat toy. But out of my price range.

I'm aready budgeting for the 3 Translyvania items this year. The Docksider (which is my current favorite Lionel product) the Transfer Caboose AND the action Gondola with the vampire chasing the mummy.
I hope they continue this theme. Next year I want a slag car with green glowing muck in the couldren or a log car with huge bones instead of logs. A flanged Hearse powered unit might be fun. I would prefer a bobber caboose to those that have been chosen so far but I can wait.

Now that's an idea !!!!
How about a repaint of one of the track cars to make it look like a hearse.....
