This humble and often-overlooked O gauge train set represents a significant piece of toy train history. Here we have a rather basic, yet significant train set - Marx’s The Meteor set of 1974 - not to be confused with their Disney Meteor set.
At first glance, there’s nothing special here at all - a basic Marx 4-wheel GE 70-ton diesel, followed by two basic 4-wheel cars and a 4-wheel caboose, all sporting non-operating Marx knuckle couplers. But on closer inspection, there are clues to another story - the story of the last, desperate attempt of a once-great company to simply survive.
