My oldset model train....depends on the scale. My apartment seems to be a yards for old and near scrap model trains. I have displayed around my house plants a 1937?Marx tinplate 3 rail NYC 2-4-2. That includes the 3 tinplate cars that came with it. I think it was deliberately sabotaged(cut wire) to insure it would not be run and would stay in operating condition. I have no way to test it as I model HO scale. No one has yet to mention a 1957 Revel 0-6-0 saddle tank engine UP#3600. I found mine not described correctly on Ebay. I made short work of cleaning it up and making it operate....including the "baby rattle" inside for sound effect. Quite a contrast 50 years later to todays sound effect technology. Now a shelf queen<span class="smiley">[:D]</span> That sits beside the very early Athearn Hustler #56. I have several Athearn cars with metal trucks and real metal coil springs.....anyone know when Athearn stopped useing these???
