Old Marx trains...trash or treasure?

In my opinion their about the coolest thing for the money. Here are a few I recently picked up from a train auction. Extremely affordable and great vintage fun.

Marx produced the 333 locomotive for the purpose of competing directly with Lionel. It was designed to be a scale model rather than a toy.

Yes it's definitely their most realistic model.

Not all 333 have smoke units, but it is possible to get them with smoke units

Yeah I keep buying them hoping to get one
