Hey Buddy, sorry I couldn't talk to ya the other day, and I'd really like to hear from you again, especially about the show this past weekend.
Anyway, as you know, I've been collecting OFF Brands this year and restoring AND Running them ! :auto-driving:
And although I like Atlas, they are hard to get at affordable prices, and hard to get parts for and keep running :(
Sooo...I've started collecting Marx HO ! :laughing-rolling: Hey- Stop Laughing !....they actually are good running chassis, and IMHO, the newer plastic wheeled models-actually run better/faster than Lionel and Atlas :scared-eek:
I've collected what I think is at least one of each of their car models, some pristine, some are, well... Hacked up a Bit (note the T-Bird front row on left :o ) Dang, I just realized I left my '63 Corvette out of the pic -cuz it was in one of my display cases. Oh heck, I'll include it in the second photo.....
BTW- Marx made Three Different Year T-Birds(seen in my front row) and Three Different Year Corvettes !
Okie dokie, here is my collection, all I need Now are the Three Truck$ ! Also, do note on the far right the '61 Vette is a Marx body mounted over a VERY FAST Aurora T-Jet Chassis, and the Black AW '41 Willys body is mounted over a Marx Indy Car chassis I had laying around.
