Here is a video of 3 of my Marx windup engines pulling a variety of 6" four wheel tin freight and passenger cars.

David, very nice collection. Looks like they are all shiny & in beautiful shape. Cool video too, well done. Thanks for letting us have a look. Marx and Flyer 4-wheel 6" cars are some of my favorite trains.

David, I have enjoyed many of your excellent train videos. You have a real talent for video presentation and editing. And you have many interesting trains and a fabulous layout !
I would be interested to hear some details on those Marx clockwork engines. Am I hearing bells? Do they have some kind of chugging sound effect?
Very nice David. Simple is good!

well done!

David and Steve, Thanks to both of you for the interesting tinplate videos.
Steve's videos of clockwork engines show the ingenious mechanisms for sparks, governor, bell, whistle, and smoke!
Aren't the clockworks a hoot though? A green Marx windup Seaboard diesel set is my grandson's favorite of all my stuff because it goes so fast.
