I came across these mini posters, on the back of my cornflakes box.

I thought they would make great G or O scale posters or scratch built billboards.

I've created an album dedicated to my Marx Mechanical Trains.

I invite you all to check them out.

Yes, it is the lower end, working man's version of the Commodore Vanderbilt.

Wonderful!  Is the engine similar to the "Commodore Vanderbilt"?

New Marx Clockwork Trains

Comment by D. Niles, Esq. on February 23, 2013 at 6:25am

Another new train..

AHM 2 Rail O Gauge, An FM C-Liner locomotive with freight cars. European  made, DC powered.  I've heard lot's of negatives about the locomotive, but I bought it hoping that I could transfer the loco body over to a Lionel PW Alco frame & drive I have.

Photo's are of two of the three Marx O27 Train Sets I acquired yesterday.

I've been looking for O27 track, switches & crossovers and came across a fellow who had boxes of track, switches, crossovers & accessories, 3 trains sets & additional cars for sale.  His asking price was less than I figured I'd pay for track & switch sets & crossovers.  My first electric train was a Marx-Allstate set, and one of the sets was the same model...Knew it was a sign, so could I resist?

No pix of the complete set in the original box.
