Marx Tracks

I have seen quite a few over the years & own a good amount. About all I know is that Marx made them. I don't know why or when. I can't recall if any 027 curves were made 034 style.

They came out at the same time as the 034 curves. They used regular length 5 tie track until the longer straights got into production. Very short window of time so not seen often.

I got my first Marx trains with the longer 5 tie straights around 1957 and I never saw the shorter 5 tie versions. Based on that I'm guessing the short 5 tie version was made in the late forties or early fifties, prior to receiving my first MARX train for Christmas..
