I recently acquired yet two more vintage Marx O Gauge diesel locomotives. I really like them and they seem to run extremely well by simply cleaning and lubing them. The selection of original Marx rolling stock today is not very extensive, particularly if you're modeling Western railroads. Most Marx stuff was for eastern railroads, or at least that's what I'm seeing at local train shows or when going on-line to various auction sites.
Lately, different manufacturers have been coming out with some pretty awesome S gauge rolling stock and passenger cars. I got to thinking - why not purchase some of the cars I like and swap the vintage Marx trucks and couplers onto them? What do you guys think? Has anybody ever tried this?
I know some of you may think that's sacrilege, but I like having and running trains you don't see everywhere. Many of the more common S cars are readily available, and thus are not too expensive. I'd appreciate any insight you guys might have.
