Those are some really sharp Marx boxcars! Love that locomotive too! 😊 -Brian

[@stevesoscaletrainchannel.1901]

Thank you Brian. Marx made some neat boxcars.

[@Espiel78]

The smoking red 994 has more presence than any toy train that I have ever seen especially with it fronting all the scale cars! It's wonderful and thanks for sharing.

[@stevesoscaletrainchannel.1901]

The 994 is a neat locomotive. I thought it would make a good candidate for the boxcar challenge. Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@ozarkmidlandsouthernrailway]

Steve, that is a beautiful train of box cars being led by an exquisite shining red locomotive! Ol'#994 is quite the "smoker" too! I love those box cars! Thank you for taking part in the Holiday Box Car Challenge and sharing your awesome train with us. I hope you have a wonderful New Year! Bill

Two interesting metal trains. Look at the smoke from the steam locomotive. Thanks for showing these models that I didn't know. Wish a good day. Best regards

You have really upgraded that 994, Louis M would be proud. Great matching caboose too.

[@stevesoscaletrainchannel.1901]

Thanks Jim. I think the smoke adds to it.

[@JFLionelT-RailOperator]

Yes, amazing volume of smoke.@@stevesoscaletrainchannel.1901

[@johnknippenberg-LandmarkYards]

Awesome run, Steve. 💯

[@stevesoscaletrainchannel.1901]

Thank you John, I appreciate it.

[@jlebaron1]

hey it looks great Steve! Got a 666/1666 smoker motor in there too! Nice those shells are so big you can easily fit that motor with little modification

[@stevesoscaletrainchannel.1901]

Thanks John. Yes, the shell has adequate room to handle it.

Hi Steve, I like your Marx Trains and they are cheery and colorful, especially for Christmastime. What are the dimensions of this upper double loop layout and what is the radius of the tracks?

[@stevesoscaletrainchannel.1901]

Hello, the upper loop in that video is about 44" by 64" with MTH Track that is 031 radius. Marx Trains are lots of fun. Thank you for watching and commenting. -Steve

[@huntercoleman460]

Nice Marx boxcars Steve.

[@stevesoscaletrainchannel.1901]

Thank you Hunter. Marx are fun.

[@therosejewelrailroad489]

Pretty Marx run. Looks like you added a smoker to that old Marx.

[@stevesoscaletrainchannel.1901]

Thank you very much. It has a 666 motor in the 994.

[@plunkervillerr1529]

That 994 is looking good.

[@stevesoscaletrainchannel.1901]

Thank you very much for your comments, Marx trains are fun. My first train was a Marx.

[@joeystrains.9316]

Beautiful Steam Engine Steve.

[@stevesoscaletrainchannel.1901]

Thank you Joey. I think you restarted the latest boxcar challenge if I remember right.

[@joeystrains.9316]

@@stevesoscaletrainchannel.1901 Yes, and Bill renamed it to holiday, which sounds like a great tradition every year. O scalers are super nice.

[@stevesoscaletrainchannel.1901]

Great idea.@@joeystrains.9316

[@Fireball409]

Am I correct that Marx is out of business? If so, what year did they stop making model railroad equipment?

[@stevesoscaletrainchannel.1901]

I think the early 1970"s and they sold in 1972. My first train was a Marx 666 Set in the early 1960's. Ebay still has listings for used Marx trains in various conditions. Jim and Debra Flynn made quality AmeraTrains, also called Modern Marx but are no longer manufacturing them.

[@huntercoleman460]

Wanna look at my new engine Steve.

[@stevesoscaletrainchannel.1901]

Yes, I will check it out, thanks.
