Hello My friends, I was wondering if there any interest here in Marx trains or anybody building layouts with Marx trains. I am big lover of them and have used over 60 years of my life. I have 7 of those big plastic tubs full of trains, o27 track, transformers, switches and other things Marx too. I starting build layout again starting out 4 feet x 8 feet and sheet of 1/2 inch plywood with legs with wheels on so can move around easy in the basement. I am going to keep it small this time no more big layouts for me. I can have fun with my trains all that matter to me. I still love take them apart and fixing and repairing them oil them and Vaseline or petroleum jelly the gears and clean the motors with alcohol and WD 40 too then with clean rag. I put drop oil all moving parts. I guess that why they have lasted me over 60 years and they will be running when I am gone too. For my money Marx trains are the toughest trains ever made and also made in USA not other places that is why I love Marx trains so much and to me they look cool and run great too. All engines all work well and transformers too I cannot ask for more from Marx trains. Thanks longbow57ca.
