1950's MARX "WALT DISNEY CHARACTER" MECHANICAL "
MINIATURE
" TRAIN SET WITH LITHOGRAPHED TIN PLATFORM.
THE BEAUTIFULLY LITHOGRAPHED TRAIN PLATFORM MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 13" X 22" X 2 1/4" TALL WITH TWO TIN LITHOGRAPHED TUNNELS ATTACHED.
THE PLATFORM IS IN OVERALL VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH MINOR COSMETIC AND/OR CONSTRUCTION DISTRACTIONS(MOSTLY SOME RUST PITTING AROUND THE CORNER AREAS ON THE LEFT SIDE AND SOME SPOTS ON THE LITHOGRAPHED TRACK LAYOUT).
THE OVERALL EXCELLENT CONDITION 5 PIECE TRAIN SET WHEN ALL HOOKED UP TOGETHER MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 16"LONG.
THE METAL WIND-UP KEY IS INCLUDED.
THE TRAINS LOCOMOTIVE IS IN
STRONG
WORKING CONDITION.
I GAVE THE MOTOR-WORKS A GOOD 3/4 WIND-UP BEFORE TESTING THE SET ON THE PLATFORM AND HAD THE FOLLOWING RESULTS(I DID NOT WANT TO WIND ANY TIGHTER TO AVOID AN OVER-WINDING EVENT):
THE LOCOMOTIVE WITH ALL 4 CARS ATTACHED ROUNDED THE TRACK SUCCESSFULLY 3 FULL TIMES(
AS GOOD AS IT GETS FOR THIS
MINIATURE
LOCOMOTIVE
). I HAVE NEVER HAD ONE OF THESE LOCOMOTIVES WORK THIS WELL BEFORE!! A
RARE
PERFORMANCE FOR SURE!!
ANECDOTALLY:
I OWNED AND SOLD A
VERY SIMILAR CONDITION SET
TWO YEARS AGO ON EBAY FOR 0. I COULD ONLY GET THAT LOCOMOTIVE TO PULL 3 CARS AROUND THE TRACK 1 TIME. THIS IS THE MORE COMMON OUTCOME AND CONSIDERED EXCELLENT AS WELL.
THE TRAIN IS
DESIGNED TO RUN ON THE TRACK
IN A
CLOCKWISE
DIRECTION. THE LOCOMOTIVE'S FRONT WHEELS ARE DESIGNED TO TURN GRADUALLY RIGHT. THE LOCOMOTIVE'S REAR WHEELS ARE THE DRIVERS.
THE LOCOMOTIVE COMES WITH AN ON/OFF LEVER ATTACHED TO THE TOP OF THE SAME.
PLEASE VIEW MY ENCLOSED PHOTO REFERENCES FOR THE BEST TOOL TO USE IN DETERMINING THE OVERALL HIGH-GRADE QUALITY OF THIS "FANTASTIC AND HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER" SET FOR YOURSELF.
A PICTURE IS STILL WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS..............................
