not sure if the K line switchmans tower grew out of a Marx tower originally. They seem to be at least very similar.
does one work better than the other? are they reliable operators?
thanks, Leroof.

If you mean the #2940 vs K-121, I would say they are virtually identical in quality. They are almost certainly made from the same molds.
Both both use the same solenoid and gearing mechanism. Both are somewhat delicate with its plastic structures. No real advantage of one over the other unless you prefer American versus Chinese manufacture.
Thanks for the info.
I had a marx one without operating guts some time ago. Yep it was fragile but intact. Always wondered on the reliability of mechanical function. Not as exciting as Lionel switch tower, but more 027 like which may work better for me.
Anyone have a Marx one in great shape for sale? Box unimportant to me.
