Streamlined steam locomotives are what this Group is about, slanted torward the toy train end. ALL manufacturers of streamlined steam locomotives, both in powered-thru-the-rails model form and as full sized. Until January 2008, Marx CVs were the primary focus, and many will still discuss it here.

Louis Marx Company made many styles of O Guage Electric Trains. Their "Commodore Vanderbilt" (CV) is a classic design. CVs were made 1935-1950, a span of more years than the other Marx tin (steam) locomotives.
