Simply….genius! I had to play this video more than once just to appreciate all of your work. Thank you for sharing and BRAVO!!! Interestingly enough, i was looking for “Marx train restoration” which is only how I came across your video…i try to find any experienced Marx guys out there and now I have subscribed to you as well because i am just able to get into the hobby and truly enjoy Marx.
Yes, it took a lot of planning and engineering to put all that together, and so glad you appreciate it. And if you're looking for 'Marx restorations' I'm your guy.
Thanks John. No, I got that searchlight car in a junk lot with the top section already missing. If you need that part, Robert Grossman has a replacement made from a modified Lionel unit. Not original, but functional.
Quite horrific! But, someone is bound to point out that a train isn't Really a Train unless the end of the train is 'protected' by markers - appropriately colored, of course. Two 'marker-like' shapes (they could be LEGO pieces) either side of the caboose, shapes which would change color from Red to Green and back with some 'drool'/'slime' below them, would look nice. Or, a simpler effect would be a flexy-wire-mounted ghost 'floating' at roof level and holding a red lantern behind the caboose...with perhaps a coupla bats circling the lantern. That detail aside, the smoke effect leads one to conjure up all sorts of 'effects'...! Great stuff and much appreciated...!
I'll keep that marker suggestion in mind. But realistically, it's not a 'train' anyway by normal standards.😮 But stay tuned Oliver, because I already have plans for my 2nd smoke machine!🎉
Great work, I love it. I appreciate your creative work.
Thanks Steve. Always good to hear from you.
Awesome Halloween custom, I love it! 🎃🐈⬛👻
Thanks John.

Ha! Fun stuff, well done. Does this mean you have a spotlight and yoke to spare?
