With holidays in the big box stores, if not yet here, l was thinking of where l shopped for and trains were sold when l was a kid.  Marx was where you found it, and not in large amounts and there only leading up to December, to quickly disappear. Fischer's Hobby Shop in Louisville, Ky. had Lionel the year around, but l only bought O-27 track and Hudson's Miniatures model car kits. They carried no Marx.  Was there any store, source in the country...NYC?, that carried a quantity of Marx year around?  I only seem to have heard of it mail-ordered.

Until I was 10 years old I lived in Brooklyn, New York. I can still remember the first Marx item I saw. It was a PFE 3/16" scale reefer. I could not believe how "cool" I thought it was. It was not inexpensive Marx plastic but I felt quite interesting. I remained interested in it all these years and put together the following link about the 3/16" scale cars:  http://www.ebay.com/gds/Marx-3...0000001455546/g.html
