Marx Tunnel | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Kevin CoyleOGR Forum Member

Hi,

I am curious if someone can tell me the difference between the two metal Marx tunnels that I have seen out there, especially when they would have been available for sale. One is held by a clip and the colors seem more muted and the litho is of a single house on a country side. The other is held by a screw and much brighter colors and has a barn on it. I know the camo one was form the late 1930's based on the catalog.

Thanks,

Kevin

The pre war 390 had the clip. I believe the same tunnel post war used the screws like on the 392.

Does the camo tunnel also come in Mossy Oak or Real Tree?

Kevin, are you ready for sticker shock??

Nice ones go for $200.00 plus. Best to find one somewhere that the seller does not know what he has.
