Typically quite, quite cheap, and does not compare with Tyco what with its cast on brake wheels- cheezy, man, cheezy. But I love the rugged good looks, the pastel colors, and that they track supremely well.
Litle switcher is a sweet little runner.

Sure, I'm sure I can do something with 'em.
I never knew the Sears angle, that's cool.

A lot of the later Model Power line used the old Marx tooling, so some of those would be a good source of repair parts

Think I paid $10 for the more detailed Marx, and a buck for the older style. What is the approximate vintage on that set, Frank? Looks like a real beauty. What is the vintage on the older style, and did Marx do the detailed vs. plain style concurrently? Any back story on that?
Thanks for the tip on Model Power, I probably have a few in the scratch and dent department I can cannabalize.

Hydrocarbon Rocket Fuel. Well, that is the bomb! Nice looking set, but what really has me drooling is that RI caboose.
I got a Wells Fargo, but I think it's maybe a Model Power?
