I posted some photos in the "Factory Prototypes & One of a Kind Album". Not sure if this is where these boxcars belong. I do not suspect they are "One of a...
Rod On one of the Flynn's e-bay items, I remember them selling with the large wheels and what looked like scale trucks without the trim covers. The auction...
I have one more New-in-Box New Marx set that I have decided to sell, so I figured I might as well note it here first since this is where the most dedicated New...
I see there is a photo file for factory prototypes and it also looks like you do not have to be the "owner" of the file in order to add pictures to this...
Robert, When you open the photo Album "Factory Prototypes & One of a Kinds" you will see "Add Photo | Create Album" in the upper right corner. Click on "Add...

Hi Barb, take care of yourself. "flatcars" like in about 1/32" flat I assume? I would love to have the photo's added of the protoypes. It's always interesting...
Yes, Steve, the flatcars are about 1/32" thick. Body, roof and ends in a picture frame. You guessed right on. No frames, wheels, axles or couplers, and totally...
The DC news radio sation has a good story on line about Christmas trains. I would cut and paste here but it is a copyright story, so here is the web address...
Thanx for the info. Should any of you be in the Cincinnati area, there are 2 big layouts worth visiting. One is in the Gas Company office bldg. downtown, a...
Hi Jim, I sure would love to see pictures of your "Crescent" and "Alton Limited". They are two of my favorite trains. Merry Christmas, John C. Willis Mobile,...
Hi, John. I am not very tech-savvy, to put it mildly, so doubt I will be putting pix on here. I had to be dragged into the 20th Century, ( not the train )...
Jim, No problem. Still an "if" proposition is not a definite no. ( sales folks never give up ) LOL I don't know about the "dinosaur". I've been in the tech...
Hi, again, John. I will get pix taken asap, but, given the "season" and all, it may take me awhile. But I will not forget to do it. I was just upstairs...

Very nicely done Wayne. I like the tins, but haven't been able to locate such here in my area very often. I guess I'll have to rely on the bay to bring some...
Wayne, Thanks for sharing. Nice looking tin village. First time I heard the Santa's musical car, I appreciate you sharing. Is two songs the limit? Regarding...
By the time I got caught up in the new Marx Trains, the trollies and interurbans had been sold out and were starting to fetch a chunk of money on E-bay. The...

Well, there's still a chance for someone to get brand new, never run New Marx items. I put a couple of locomotive sets up for sale a few days ago on this very...
Thanks for the compliments everyone. Rod, the car actually has 4 songs. I will try to do another video when I get home that is long enough to play all 4...
Wayne, that is a dandy layout, indeed. I can't post pix here, and the topic is an "old" Marx piece, but use yer imaginations and picture my Christmas train in...
