Marx Battery Trains

In the late 1960's, Marx Toys imported a number of Haji sets. The only identifier to their actually being made by Haji is a small logo on the plastic tender. There are 8 sets so far that have been identified, and they are listed below. Thanks to Bryan Robbins of the MarxTrain Yahoo group for his list.

All sets include an 0-6-0, tender, blue Gondola and a red Caboose. The latter 2 cars have the Marx logo. Early locomotives will have metal rods and a tinplate chassis. Newer versions will have an all plastic construction. Most sets also have the standard Haji black plastic 'S' gauge tender, but some have been seen with a solid black tin tender on a plastic chassis.
