Hey folks, I picked this up with another piece I needed and don't really know much about it. It is marked Marx and it is O scale I believe. Any ideas about age or value??? I can't seem to find out anything on this thing. I'm guessing it is supposed to have a couple men on it that are missing, but other than that it seems in nice shape. BTW It runs too!!!!!

That's the Marx handcar number 2002,made from the 50's until the early 70's.
Yes yours is missing the two figures, one was grey,and the other blue.
With the broken handles it might be worth around 20-30 dollars.
