Marx Tender

That tender was used on the early 333 Pacific locomotive. Later 33 locos came with the plastic tender that looks like a shortened S gauge Hudson tender.

When K-Line re-released the 333 shell with a can motor, they used the big tender from the 1829, for some strange reason.

The die cast 3661 tenders do sell for quite a bit. Nice ones sell "close" to the book value. Those particular trucks can be hard and pricey to find.

I'd say you got a great buy on a desirable tender.

Thanks for the info, I read once where they were scarce and  valuable but never sure. So I gambled a $1  !!  I took the body off the frame and have the frames and trucks soaking in strong bleach to remove the rust. The dealer has a couple of  freight cars that aren't too bad plus I can sacrifice some wheels and axles for the tender plus a nice tin coal hopper that needs one.  He has some passenger cars that are solid but in sad shape as far as paint and rust are concerned. If I can get them cheap it will be a project for the winter. There are two half dome cars but don't remember the names or numbers.

the 3661 diecast metal tender weighs in at ~1.3lbs (0.6kg) so having straight axles and clean, freely turning wheels is very important.  i have seen them with the 333 in scale freight sets, but their most notable use is heading up the Marx 3/16" scale NYC passenger sets.

good luck fixing it up.
cheers...gary
