We want old Marx Trains. And we're willing to make a deal to get them. We have a lot of new-in-box HO and N scale trains and accessories here. We'll trade for Marx Trains, based on the current value. Of course, if you have something we really want but don't want to trade, we're willing to pay a fair price. Or maybe a mix of trade and cash. We're flexible.
The reason we're doing this is to get more items for this website. We have some projects in the works that involve old tinplate trains and accessories, modern O / O27s, etc. To that end, the old Marx trains, accessories and buildings will help immensely. We'd actually like to set up a "Tinplate Town" and photograph it for this site. I am investigating the possibility of using video - place a video camera behind a loco and let it take a "tour" of the tinplate town, then convert to streaming video for the Web.
Here are a few things we need:
Tinplate cars and locos
Tin litho stations, houses, etc.
Tin Litho operating accessories
O / O27 operating cars and accessories
Tank cars
If you have old Marx O gauge trains and accessories, please email us at
