Can someone tell me about this Marx Tender | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Can someone tell me about this Marx Tender other than the fact it needs some help? I picked this Marx Tender up in an auction. The coupler to the engine doesn't look right. However, when I turn it over, it matches the style of the rear coupler. Has this tender been modified?

That's correct for a 1930s Marx car. If I remember right, they are called "scissors and post" or "one-way" couplers.

Looks like someone swapped out the frame from a regular 8 wheel freight car. The front coupler should be a tab & slot. An easy fix.
