Marx M10005 "City of Denver"

This is a Marx City of Denver set I picked up at the Great Train Expo in Puyallup, Washington in November. It came with a page from the original catalog depicting the set. Mine is a bit of a cheat in that I have two duplicate cars and am thus missing two of the original cars in the set. The engine needed a bit of work as the wheels were loose on the axles and the gears tended to fall out of mesh under load conditions. I shot this with my new Sony HDR CX130 Handicam. This is the third Sony I have owned in 19 years, and the advances in technology, storage and miniaturization are amazing.

Thanks to Chiconian49 for Marx motor repair tips. Think I'm missing the two diner cars, Chuck.

That put a smile on my face! Very colorful and real fun to watch. It really captures the appeal of tinplate.
