Repairing Boxes

There was an article in Classic Toy Trains magazine  a couple of years ago dedicate to this very subject.  I have it but it'll take a while to find it. You might be able to search for it on their website. I'll look for it as soon as I get the chance.

I'm reading that exact old issue right now, but don't have the equipment to scan etc. Don't know how to do it. I can send you the whole magazine if you'd like though.

I pieced a couple Marx boxes together, mainly because they were my Uncles.I took cardboard and glued/taped them from the inside.

Matt,

What issue is that?

Thanks,

It appeared in Trains magazine, Oct. 2005, page 48, written by Jack Willer.

I used 2" wide brown re-enforced packing tape. The kind you wet on the back and apply. Its about as close as your going to get to original as no one makes the cloth re-enforced tape.

I've never taped them, but I do glue sheets of thin cardboard to the back of the damaged areas, then clamp them overnight.

if these boxes had been on better shape, I would have done things differently. but there were large sections either MIA or looking like confetti.
