Marx Clockwork Commodore Vanderbilt by Fuzz

Marx Clockwork Commodore Vanderbilt

Fuzz

This is an old (1940's) clockwork steam locomotive that I restored a few months ago. When it came to me, it was in very rough shape. The body was rusty and the clockwork guts were almost inoperable. After an extensive unassembly, cleaning and repairing or replacing of old worn parts, the clockwork drive was ready to go. The shell of the locomotive was another story. Having rust and dents from rough handling over the last 70 or so years, it needed some love. I blasted it, hammered the dents out as best I could with a large punch, sanded, primed and painted it. Now it runs like the day it was made and I'm very pleased with it, having a train that I can still run when the power goes out.
