Hello, Just joined the forum hoping someone could answer questions about some Marx tin trains we just bought.I know pictures really help and I will get to that soon. From a quick search on line I believe they are from the 50's because they have "dummy knuckle couplers". There are no decals or graphics on the engine, pretty plane. The caboose has "Pacemaker" NYC, 20110 on the side. There is a tender that say's New York Central. There is one other car, a C&O 36000 Gondola. I'm sure one of you guys out there will know all about them. There are parts missing and I just ordered Robert Grossman's catalog. I would like to add to the set over time. We use them mostly to go round the Christmas Tree every year.We have been using our son's Lionel's for years but I love the Tin Trains and found this box of trains with a bunch of track for 25 bucks and couldn't resist. I was born in 1953 and these trains could have been made then too!! We have been joking that this is "my" first set of trains! It's never too late is it!! Thanks to all for any info. and I will be sending pictures soon. Merry Christmas to all!!
