Was Marx making the train for Lionel or was this a totally separate company? The train was definitely a Lionel. My parents bought it new and it was in the box as a set. This would have been middle to early 60's. I may have the numbers wrong I thought it said 666 for the numbers.

If you are 100% sure that it was Lionel, then as T-Man said the cab number was 1666... Although maybe not, since this locomotive was only made for 1946 and 1947

There were a bunch of variations on eBay, and I just grabbed a picture
Maybe this was the super-deluxe edition

The 666 is a nice Marx engine. After this post I did end up owning two of them with metal shells. One is still in non working order. I appreciate you finding an older post. There is just so much that has already been covered and can be found if someone is determined enough to find it.:appl: Who Knows we may hear from B&M again.

You think so?
Have you heard from him since his last log on? It was 01-15-2012 05:45 PM it will be TWO years soon.
It seems like someone logged in Tworails account and at the same time logged in under the admin above it. (one in the same :smokin
Though did not say anything. :dunno: It was 12-06-2013 10:49 PM, the last time we heard from tworail was back in 2012. And even then I don't think it was him, I think someone added it to try to shut me up from asking.

He did say this WAY back then, and that was the last we heard from him. (though I am not convinced it was even him)
B&M has not logged on for a LONG time.
It was right after the train give away that they both stopped coming to "their" site?:smokin:
Tworail was the G man here, he could probably answer some of the G questions we have had.
And maybe update his G scale manual list some. It seems that the G scale trains numbers that some are asking for the manual are never in his list.

OK, then mabey I am wrong in my assumptions.
I guess your talking about B&M?
He has not been here for years now.
The time it took to answer your e mails is longer then stopping in to say hello?
At least around the holidays?
I guess we can add TJ in the MIA files now too.
Heck T, you have been awful quiet the last few months also?:dunno:
But at least we see you every so often.
May Santa Claus bring you the biggest tube of epoxy that you ever saw.
Along with a few bags of coal for your RR.
