That's Great!!!
Simple, Complex, it is all about fun and enjoyment.

Nice to see you got them out and are enjoying them again.

 

A Marx was my first electric train for Christmas, 1941.

Couldn't see much of the train. How about another pic
with it in front?

I agree. Show the locomotive better. Cool set.

 

Your pictures bring back memories. Santa brought my first and second electric trains, which were also Marx, two years in a row. We lived in an apartment so I only got to run them around the tree at Christmas time.

 

I've had a few Marx sets over the years, I always enjoyed them. Fun little layout! :thumbsup:

Thanks for your responses. As requested, here's a few more pics after adding a split-level home, lighting the tree and showing the loco more clearly. Merry Christmas to all.

 

Looks great and reminds me of Christmas when I was little. Your trains are in great shape.

 

Very nice set. Thanks for the new pics. Merry Christmas.

 

Very Quaint, I like it lots, makes me relax just looking at it, Enjoy!

 

train set

Hey,Hobo- I luv that train set. Thanks for posting the photos. I gotta one like it,only don`t have the flat car and truck.I see I gotta start looking for the truck and flat car. Did it come with the set or did you add it. I run mine most one or times a week when I get time. I have a few Marx sets and run them also.

By the way,welcome to the forum.have a great rest of the year everyone and a better one next year,Sanepilot/Everett:smilie_daumenpos:

 

Those pictures made me think of my grandfather’s Christmas layout which I never saw except in pictures.

 

CV freight set

The Marx set was given to my wife's brother (now deceased) in 1940. We have stored it for over 50 years. The flat car and truck were included but not paired until I realized they went together after seeing a photo of a similar set. How cool is that? Good luck in finding one. Have a great holiday season!

 

Great looking set. :thumbsup:

Your set looks real nice especially for its age surely your enjoying it .
Merry Christmas.

 

Thanks Dieseler, and a Merry Christmas to you and yours. Jim

 

Charming. I particularly like the use of fencing along the border. The
wheel barrow is a nice touch. You do your Grandfather's legacy an
honor.
