File:Custom Dual Marx CV

Description
This is a Custom Marx CV made by welding 2 engine shells together to make it longer and then it and a Marx Nickel Plate tender were custom painted in Milwaukee Road colors. It had already been fabricated when I bought it, but did not run. My part of the project was to gut the insides and replace it with a K-Line 4-6-2 Pacific motor & chassis. The rear 2 wheel truck was replaced by a junk box Lionel 4 wheel truck making it a 4-6-4. I converter the tender from 4 wheels to 8, then added all the decals and a clear coat to seal everything. On it's original run, it derailed at the curves so this was a test run after modifying the draw bar. Very pleased with the results. The caboose is also a custom, a modified Marx Monon 4 wheeler.
