Episode 103: After the Second World War, Marx Trains produced several varieties of operating and non-operating couplers. Not all of them are compatible with one another, and none is compatible with Lionel knuckle couplers (although some will mate with Lionel Scout couplers). Let's examine these types and show how they can be mixed in a single train.

I am so glad you cover Marx trains. There are guys on U-tube that do mods to Marx trains that really put them over the top too. Just letting you know.

Personally, I have no problem with modifying beater Marx, or Lionel equipment. If the piece is beaten up or busted, why not repaint or kitbash it into something useful - like the Marx/Lionel "Frankenstein" SD7 I bought last year? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rNlCT0Bx_s4.html

Every manufacturer of trains in the old days have their own coupler and you had really make it after cars with two different couplers on each end so you can haul different train cars from different companies. NHL trains this brought about the nmra to bring track and coupler standards so everybody could run everything from any manufacturer. The different couplers among different companies is just another reminder of trains at the very beginning of time when nobody thought about you connecting your car to somebody else's especially when every manufacturer seem to have a different track gauge as well.

LOL, it sure sounded like you were saying 'tab n snot' coupler!? 😂

Can I convert my marx tilt couplers to knuckle. Couplers

@ToyTrainTipsAndTricks Год назад

Conversion to Marx knuckle couplers would be rather easy. Conversion to Lionel type knuckle couplers would be more difficult because of the difference in height. Maybe this would help: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DiSlyMhn_Ls.html

The last minutes of the video are muted

@ToyTrainTipsAndTricks Год назад

Yes, due to a RU-vid copyright claim. :-( It's just the running train, so no information is lost.

@frankmarkovcijr5459 Год назад

March May train sets with steam locomotives and tenders that were labeled as Penn Central. You could swap tenders behind any more steam locomotive and be able to haul Lionel cars but you had to haul a short one other than burnt out the motor.

@jamesdenny4734 5 месяцев назад

The sound cut out towards the end there! Was that intentional!? 🤔

@ToyTrainTipsAndTricks 5 месяцев назад

I had to remove the sound at the end due to a copyright issue.

A lot of the marked cars were much better than the '80s Lionel cars. I love listening to a train of 10 cars running around the layout with them singing. Even a dead Mark's engine can be used for scenery purposes.
