Inventory, Derailments, and More! 

Marx guy here, at 76 I `ve only been R/R for three years. After viewing Benz Trainz, I dug out of the attic my Dad`s Lionels that were in storage since 1960 and began cleaning and lubing. He had three engines, six cars, his own hand made buildings and bridge that I value, and considerable track. I got the Marx vintage tin bug, thanks to Benz. To date I`ve built a dozen custom Marx loc. from E-bay parts purchases. Now I`m working on video train runs with 1940s-50s big band background music. Your`s is an outstanding layout, it doesn't need improvement, just don`t run the loc. too close to the table edge.

Enjoy the videos very much. I suggest a small stream with rapids and lots of rocks. From the looks of what you showed there now it shouldn’t be too much of a change and it would give you the opportunity to add a fishing camp, an old mill or anything related to a steam that could had been bigger at an earlier time. I am sure regardless of what you’ll do it’s going to look great. Good luck
