Wife and I went to a train show and came across this train terminal. It is much too big for O scale and might work for standard or maybe G gauge, so assume its a kids toy rather than Marx train. But it was so pristine looking we couldn't pass it up.
There is no identifying number or label other than Marlines. This item is really clean with some slight rust along platform bottom. I took three pictures though they are fuzzy for unknown reasons.
BTW if anyone is interested in it.......

Marx 5420 Freight Station. It is a train accessory although it has a larger footprint than most layouts have room for. It's supposed to be for the O gauge trains but the size, like many of the familiar accessories, is a holdover from standard gauge days.
Its a Marx freight terminal. "Marlines" is "Marx" + "Lines".
I have seen a couple of them for sale on ebay with the last two weeks.

Thank you for the prompt replies. Thought it was standard but not sure.
I always liked the freight terminal but it is just too big for my layout.
Greenberg's Marx Price Guide has it listed for $80 to $100 in good to excellent condition, although I have seen them in the $60 range.
The accessories that go with it are worth more - $100 to $125.
Enjoy it or make a buck or two.
It's all good!
