What goes on the Flat Brown Car with a 2 sided metal clip in the center? I've seen it with a plastic top structure and a clip on top of it. Are they for Automobiles? I seem to remember Logs. Getting my old set out for my 3 year old son.  I think I could get into this again. Thanks for the video....

This is impressive. I just bought a 666 today, and am anxious to see it run. I have a Lionel Frisco Freight Set I bought new in 2000, and have some postwar Lionel steamers. Back in 1972 fro Christmas, I received the Big Rail Work Train set that had the 1666 locomotive. I wore it out. I'm going to buy some cheap cars and put Marx couplers on one end and have lionel couplers on the opposite.

These are my favorite Marx Trains !!! Your collection is really nice in condition and even some rare cars too. Awesome !!! I too have a few post war Marx trains including the 1666 and 666 engines. What fluid do you prefer to use in those engines. I have tried Lionel fluid and even some old Marx fluid but I have not seen the smoke out put like your trains have. Maybe I need repairs or different fluid ??? Please share the secret. :-)

Thanks for the props! I many use MTH fluid but have also used some scented stuff I found on eBay. I think the reason why it looks like so much is because the straight-away is so long and even a little smoke will trail a long way. That said, I cleaned and lubed the engine a few years ago and maybe the smoke chamber is more de-gunked than my other 50 year-old engines...

Thanks for stopping,

do you use dcc

[qmopar]

no, not with these old Marx engines. It's all pretty much Marx: transformers, engines, cars, and even some track and switches.

Thanks for posting! My son and I enjoyed it! The onboard camera was a neat idea. You can see my little train engineer at the end of a 30 second roundhouse vid in my video list. Gotta love Audio Adrenaline! HEY! HEY!

Glad you & your son enjoyed it. I figured there were some engineers out there...big and little!

Thanks for stopping by,
