Marx postwar collector resources

The resources are the three Greenberg books on Marx trains, but the last one, by Bob Whitacre on sets, is, I have seen on here, expensive.  The first, "Greenberg's Guide to Marx Trains", by Eric Matzke, WAS common and inexpensive.  It lists much of the plastic. 

Marxtin.com has some info, and, I think, used to offer a DVD as well.

The Greenberg books are often available on eBay, but run $80 or more usually:

"Greenberg's Guide to Marx Trains", c. 1985 - By Eric J. Matzke - Inclusive and fascinating.

"Greenberg's Guide to Marx Trains Volume 1", c. 1989 - Eric J. Matzke - Expanded so that 2 volumes were necessary.  Predominantly tin and steamers.  Lots of history.

"Greenberg's Guide to Marx Trains Volume 2" - c. 1990 - Eric J. Matzke.  If you are a fan of the large plastic E7 diesels, they are shown here in all their full-color glory.  Thirty-seven pages on plastic freight cars.  The big omission is no steam engines. 

The last two have lots of great color photos of the equipment.

The pocket guide can be helpful and is inexpensive.
