Marx Train / Custom 994

[@plunkervillerr1529]

Gary , this is Kary . I did almost the same thing as you , and took a 994 , cut off the fake trucks and separated the two piece body . Gave them the white vinegar treatment , and painted the upper white and lower silver . Installed 999 trucks , replaced the rails with gold coat hangers and painted the top caps silver as well. She is the Queen of my Marx fleet . Keep those Marx plunking along .

I am amazed at how easily and quickly you can set that engine back down on the track with one hand and have all the wheels the rails. And you did it several times.

Gary, you do amazing work and it brightens my day to see your work on you tube. Thanks you for doing this, stuff has been difficult lately and you are a bright star.

Hi Gary, so glad to see you are back making videos, I'm a big fan. Interesting video, I always learn something from your videos both old and new. Looking forward to many more.

I am glad to see you again. I try to do the same type of things that you do. It has made the hobby very enjoyable for me. I have learned a lot of things from your previous videos. Please keep up the good work. Thank you.

Great to see you again! From the beginning of the video, I was thinking "that reminds me of prewar Lionel" . Then to hear you say that prewar Lionel was your inspiration was pretty cool. I really enjoy your videos Gary. 😊

Beautiful locomotive !

[@inscoredbz]

That's pretty dang nice. It's got a great prewar vibe going on. Now I want one. Lol

Gary ---- Great to see you back! It hasn't been the same without you. The Custom 994 is beautiful! I keep hoping that I will find you selling some of your custom trains on eBay once again. I love all those pre-war tinplate trains running on your layout. I agree with you -- the old stuff beats the new trains of today. Best regards, Mike (from Fort Wayne)

[@jaredztrainz5220]

Good to see you back---- looks cool-- way marx should have built it---the 994 looks kinda plain in my opinion-- always thought it should be more --

[@mypugsdad5366]

great job

[@jaredztrainz5220]

What's the one running next to it? If you said I missed it

[@garystrains3146]

Lionel prewar 258

[@tommysager138]

Nice job. hey... if you're still wondering what to do with your Marx shell with the broken off pilot/cow catcher you could do what I did. I had a plastic shell with half the cow catcher snaped off & I neatly Dremeled off the other half, attached 2 of those pins you use to tack stucc to bulletin boards (those tacks with the flat head on the end of them), gave it a nice paint job, and now it's my Imitation British Marx.

Long time no see my friend

[@myworld67]
