Marx Tank Car Notes
This is a list of notes that I've gathered on Marx tank cars. New notes will be added as I get them.

The Marx logo is found on the top of the frame - the part between the frame and the tank. Be aware that the Model Power tank car uses the Marx mold so that the parts are interchangeable. This means that the Model Power frame could be switched with a damaged Marx one to make a "mint" Marx car. The only way to check is to separate the frame from the tank.

Recieved an email from Steve Rademacher on this one. In his experience, the Model Power cars have a raised oval on the underside of the frame. The Marx cars don't have this oval.

There is another variation on the three white tank cars because the white tank often faded to a beige color.
