I love this. I have a Marx CP Passenger car set with the original box.

I just checked the value of $.25 ( hourly wage paid to a production line worker in 1938). It is $13.94. For a youngster saving his or her money to buy a Marx car just before World War II that would have been a hefty purchase. The World was still in a Depression! The mirror on the searchlight car is very effective!

Don’t remember if I bought it directly from the Flynn’s or a dealer. Possibly eBay. It’s been over 20 years!

Those millatary cars are awesome! I’m trying to get a cheap 500 army train.😅 also, I have that same Marx 3000 but in worse condition, it kind of works? The e unit works but the wheels get no traction, i don’t need to order traction tires, I can just put a rubber band on the wheels😮

Some of the CP locomotives came with weight. You can also check to make sure the center rail pickup has light tension.

@@daveclarklumber Ohhhh, ok, mine didn’t come with weights. But I’ll try that once I get some! Thanks🥳 I’m trying to not make this too long, but I did a cleaning of it disassembled and when it runs it stinks. I’m a newcomer so any advice would help, but I assume it’s over heating, and I’m not sure how to fix that.

@@daveclarklumber sorry for all these replies, but I won a mercury,898, and an American Flyer engine with a car for the mercury, and tons of track, and I’m just really happy!😁

For traction wheels, I use black electrician`s tape cut to size.
