Louis Marx & Co. of Girard, Pennsylvania made affordable toy trains for generations of kids, and this boxed No. 4309 electric freight set comes from the early-to-mid 1970s, when Marx was a subsidiary of the Quaker Oats Company, as the box states. It is a classic starter outfit: a 490 steam locomotive with Penn Central tender pulling a blue New York Central gondola and an orange Pacemaker caboose. It is a fun find for Marx collectors, vintage toy train fans, or anyone building a nostalgic display.

Details

  • Set number 4309 is printed on the box, which reads Made in U.S.A. by Louis Marx & Co., Inc., Girard, PA.
  • The locomotive, tender, gondola and caboose are plastic with metal wheels.
  • The set includes eight curved track sections with nickel-finish rails on plastic ties (two with black terminal clips), the instruction sheet, and the original styrofoam tray and string tag.

Condition: The plastic locomotive, tender, gondola and caboose look clean and complete in the photos. The original transformer is missing; only the small black terminal plate with clips is included, and the set is sold untested. The box is worn, with a torn corner at the window, tape and a price-sticker remnant on the side seam, and scuffs and soiling on the red panel.

Please note: running condition not verified.

The photos are part of the description, and your set will be packed with care.
