https://www.ebay.com/itm/Marx-O-Gauge-T ... 4456265189Have an issue using the word "good" in this "offering".
Rusted so bad it's eaten holes in the remains of the paint.
Non-powered.
Missing wheelset.
Chassis rusted.
Yeah it's cheap, but after you pay the $14.00 plus shipping....and glass bead it...and re-paint it....and find a replacement wheelset to match....and find graphics....and you're a hundred bucks or more into a $10 POS....how do you feel about being a "winner"?

And I LIKE the seller's presentation of this fine piece.
Looks like a Made in Taiwan socket holding the nose up in one photo, and a 7/16" drill bit holding the side up in another.

I've seen better at train shows for 5 bucks and it just sits there.

Have an issue using the word "good" in this "offering".
He uses "good" because he has another one that's been run over by a steam roller. This one is "good" compared to that one.
It's a relative term. Good in relation to what?
You're going to develop an ulcer worrying about this kind of crap! Or are you just pulling our chains?
PS: I'm kinda upset that I din't win it! Naaaaaah, I'm just kidding!
