30 dollar train set

[tamrock]

I picked this up at a indoor flea market for 30 dollars. It was originally priced at $48. but a call to the seller secured the deal for $30. It's made by MARX and it has 19 pieces of track and a transformer. I haven't tried putting it together and no telling if the transformer is ever gonna work. What I'm gonna do with it is mount it on a long narrow wall shelf and put it up on an empty bedroom wall as a unique display as me and mama have been fixing up that bedroom over these stay home times with new paint, new flooring and bedroom set for a new grandson to stay in when he comes to visit.

I don't recall the Drumstick. Some restaurants I can recall from the past in Denver are the Organ Grinder and me an a gal when I lived in Leadville later 70s went down to Denver and had a fine dinner at a place called The Boston Half Shell. Here in Lafayette we now have a pretty popular chicken joint called the Post, which I like very much.

The drum stick, I believe, was a chain. They had a train that ran around the room up above you along the walls. This was located out in front of famous Casa Bonita Restaurant on West Colfax. It was a fun spot to go when young.

Anywho....cool train, Tam.
