Rare find: Pre-Production Marx Bridge Found

Your photo doesn't seem to be there.

Will, I guess it's still rare. Don

OK.  I found the rare bridge.  It was more rare than I at first thought.

It still shows as an attachment to me, just the in line code seems to not work.

So, I wonder, did they include special track with it too, or do you have to bend your own?

It's getting rarer by the minute. Don

An attempt at humor  perhaps? :-)

I'm guessing the same Tinplate.

Well, I can see the photo perfectly.  :-)

Looks like it was assembled by disgruntled  MTH employees.

Close enough for government work.

Can’t you just tap the icon of the picture?  

Clicking the blue type bring one to  (page not available)      so  then scrolled down and saw your attachment picture at bottom of post.    Perhaps some scrolled down past it and missed the attachment pic.

Yes one can click on picture to enlarge.

Yes, see the photo at the bottom now. Good one!

I would be easier if you just clicked the little box to post the picture. Don

Amazing! And what realistic looking scenery.

The bridge was built in 1899 according to the build plate.

Thats 20 years before the Louis Marx company was founded.

So this bridge is really rare.

Kinda dissing MARX! :-(

Yes and no.
I do appreciate Marx trains, especially their ability to run decades later.
But, when I first saw a box of Marx trains a friend had I thought that they looked pretty cheap next to my Lionel ones. I asked him if they were really electric trains.
But, that was a moment of growth in my life as I realized that some people had more than others.  I saw that he liked his trains, and, as such , they were as valuable as mine.

That looks like the bridge in a Scout set...my Marx bridges, girder or trestle, didn't look like that..
