Locomotive with my name on it

[Thortrains]

My wife bought me the new Marx Trains 'Thor" locomotive gun carrier - it's a tinplate loco that's loads of fun. You can see the whole shebang, including our test run here:

She also got me an original Marx (pre-1075) #400 Army steamer and tender. I love the old Marx trains. They're loads of fun.

Thortrain, I have a Marx windup Commodore Vanderbilt type engine and mixed frieght train set that I too got from wife.

The Engine has a bell that clangs and i think it's supposed to smoke or spark out of the stack, but don't. Yes it is fun to wind er' up and watch her fly.

Thor, Just checked out your new toy. If that didn't scare the bajeebeeze out of the enemy i guess nothing would. .

T,

Those sparking wind-ups were popular with Marx. They also made sparkling wind-up tanks. I don't have any here. Just a wind-up steamer, the rest are electric. Those little Commodore Vanderbilts are amusing. I have one I sometimes run when I'm douing a show with the club/ Kids don't know what to make of it.
