Add an iconic touch of Art Deco railroad history to your collection with this vintage Marx O-gauge streamlined "Mercury" electric locomotive. Produced mid-century by Louis Marx & Co., this classic tinplate engine perfectly captures the sleek, bullet-nosed style of the legendary New York Central streamliners. The body features a bold black finish with four circular porthole side openings and a raised cab, paired with a distinctive grey die-cast nose cowl.

Condition Details:

This estate find is being sold exactly as shown in Untested / As-Is condition for restoration, parts, or static shelf display. It has not been electrically tested with a transformer. The sheet metal body is structurally straight and solid, showing typical vintage character including scattered play scuffs, minor paint flecks, and light surface oxidation. The die-cast nose cowl has been historically touched up in light grey paint with a black nose stripe, and small red/green paint remnants are visible near the lower frame chassis screws. The internal headlight wiring and socket are present, and the metal wheels turn freely by hand.
