This is a Marx NYC passenger set with E-7 diesels. Marx made very few of these and only for Aldens Department Store in the 1953-54 time frame. Aldens sold another variation with silver coaches. This set came to me in pretty rough mechanical shape so I replaced the motor assembly with one from a later model Santa Fe E-7. Only the lead A unit is powered. The B unit was not part of the set. Marx never made the E-7 B unit in NYC. This is a Rock Island unit I reworked. Very nice runner for almost as old as me.
