Pre War Joy Line & Marx

[grizzleybearz282004]

what year was that joy line from thats looks to be a very old set thay look tall on the track i bet it dosent take much to derail on of then around the curves very nice and the marx trains may lack detail but very well built motors that and the very low cost to buy them new is what kept them around as long as thay were even today if you pay $150 for a complete set thats alot you can pick up a realy nice marx set for well under $100 but your getting a well made set

Joy line was made from 1927-1934. The ones in this video would have been from the later part of that time frame.

Nice to see the Joy Line electric in action and I really like the Prewar CP set..

Thanks

Surprising how nicely the Joy Line still runs. I have since this video added the CP Quebec coach so I now have all eight names.

Great oldies. Marx may have been cheap, but they were well built!

I like the way the action builds as more an more trains are running. I also was impressed by the slow-speed operation of that Joy Line loco. Thanks Steve.

This is where that MRC Dual Power comes in handy. Makes running these older guys a little easier at low speeds. Gotta get me another one soon.
