[@GaryDavis-ir6fh]

[@GaryDavis-ir6fh]

[@GaryDavis-ir6fh]

[@GGSRailways]

My diesel Marx are limited to the 2 tin litho at the moment :)

[@GaryDavis-ir6fh]

i love watching all these videos and compairing notes with our collections, discovering similaritys!

[@curtismarean6963]

I love tin toys, I absolutely love Marx tin trains. The difference between Lionel and Marx can be summed up in this statement: Lionel makes great model trains and Marx makes great toy trains. Marx was Lionel's only rival for a while, but at the same time Marx was making something different. Mr. Marx wanted kids to have toy trains at an affordable price. "Quality toys for less" he said.

[@GGSRailways]

Marx and Lionel coexisted and in more than a few ways complimented and helped each other . I suspect Marx business approach was more friendly while Lionel was a bit more rigid and formal :)

Great video. Here's a suggestion for keeping the freight cars on the track. Try attaching some stick on tire weights to the underside of the cars to make them a little heavier. It worked great for me.

[@GGSRailways]

That’s a great idea ! Thank you !

[@terrysogaugetrains]

@@GGSRailways Two oz. Added to each car should do the trick.

[@stevesoscaletrainchannel.1901]

I love Marx Trains. Thanks for sharing.

[@GGSRailways]

Thanks for watching!

[@JasonBrown-mx2kk]

I like how they look

[@johnknippenberg-LandmarkYards]

Great vid! They are fun . . . not scale detailed, but fun.

[@GGSRailways]

Yes they are!

[@JasonBrown-mx2kk]

Started watching your videos because we lost basically all of or o Gauge train s while I was in the hospital and haven't been able to work it's awesome but sucks also because we have had a lot of these

[@GGSRailways]

Oh my goodness so sorry to hear

[@blackrocks8413]

[@ianhill7275]

[@GGSRailways]

Thank you !! Stay tuned , it will only get better :)

[@raysrails2164]

Great video !

[@GGSRailways]

Thanks , I had a GREAT time making this video !!

[@GaryDavis-ir6fh]

to me realism is nice, but not a requirement im in the hobby just for the pure fun of running trains!

[@GGSRailways]

I didn’t even stick to one scale or theme 😂🤣

[@williamkolina3988]

I like all trains I prefer hi end scale models I will bet money your Marx trains will still be running when my legacy engines electronic boards are burnt out Great stuff

[@GaryDavis-ir6fh]

i have some lionel trains, but marx is mostly what i collect and run. and i dabble in ho scale a little bit.

[@GGSRailways]

Have a little bit of everything but I have a special place in my heart for Marx . When I was 11 I mowed a ladies yard for an entire mowing season in trade for a rusty Marx and some equally rusty cars she had in a dilapidated old barn. She probably thought I was dumb but to this day it is one of my favorite Marx sets with a ton of memories attached to it. I did a not great video on it once upon a time but it deserves a better one. Thanks for prodding my imagination

[@michaelhband]

👍👍👍❤❤❤🚂🚂🚂

[@billharvey9836]

I have the SP Marx train set

[@GGSRailways]

Have always liked those

[@Greatdome99]

They're not really tin, they're tin-plated steel.

[@GGSRailways]

I didn't know that :) Thanks for the clarification :)

[@TheBassPlayer100]

Tinplate

[@JasonBrown-mx2kk]

Just the sound of it ruining is fun

[@joeystrains.9316]

Great video!

[@GGSRailways]

Thanks! this was so much fun !
