Marx Glendale Station Variations

Marx made a number of variations of it's large 20" x 10" Glendale Station. Model 4116 and 4412 were the same except 4116 came dissembled as a kit. 4416 had cut out windows and an open door that were covered with a translucent cellophane and was lighted from the inside. 4418 had a hand cranked record player that played a departure announcement. I'm not sure of the dates they were made, but 1952 is the first year I see the 4412 showing up in the Sears Wish Book. 1956 is the first appearance of the talking 4418.
The 4418 you will see here has been modified with a digital sound system that gives a clean crisp modern version of the original announcement. This new sound unit will work in any of the models and can be bought from John Festa. E-mail him at johnretired@yahoo.com if you are interested.

Thanks Brian. John sent me the sound board and had not told me he even had it made. What a surprise. I was very impressed with volume and clarity of the sound.
