Well done bringing that beaut back to life

Collecting Marx tin trains here as well, as a secondary hobby, to keep me occupied when the Jensen market is meager.
I usually donīt go for full sets due to space, and prefer standalone locos with matching tender.
Also i do not particulary aim for the rarer versions, like open spoked 999īs and such, but just to have each model nicely represented.
However, eventhough it is an invisible feature, i have had an urge to ad a a whistler here for years, as i think the whistle itself is a pretty cool little gizmo, but never seem to be able to hunt one down at the right price.

A neat thing about the clockwork trains from a collectors point of view, seems to be that they generally is much better condition lithography-wise.
Guess it soon became boring for a kid to wind these for a 30 sec. run
