Afternoon all.
EZdays,
thoughts and prayers.
Found a JCPenny's Marx train set with original box at a local thrift shop on 10/11/2015 an early Bday gift for myself(Bday 10/12). One bad coupler on the gondola and missing 34 piece village set. All the track including a 90 deg. crossing was there needed a little cleaning train complete and clean and in good running order .
Not sure the exact date of mfg. I am guessing 1960's to 1970's set number is 9801 which is not in my pocket guide, Greenburg's guide to marx vol. III sets is out of print and Amazon has used books starting at $114.00 sounds like the guide is as much a collectable as the trains
The locomotive is a #490 with a NYC tender, a box car, gondola and caboose makes up the set with a 25 watt transformer.
Work is kinda slow but will pick up quite a bit by the end of the month all the way through January and a small blip in February(valentines day ads).
