Louis Marx Accessories

When is a building an accessory, or an accessory a building? Ideally, several pages should be inspected for more detail of the vast Marx range of buildings and accessories from pre war to the 1970s, including those not directly related to the Marx 0 gauge range. Even so, these pages barely scratch the surface. Relevant pages include Metal Accessories (railroad related), Plastic Accessories (railroad related), Miscellaneous Accessories (railroad related), Buildings (railroad and other tinplate), Play Sets (mainly tinplate buildings from Play Sets), Pressed Steel (railroad and non railroad buildings with pressed steel or heavy tin bases).
