Vintage Marx O Gauge Shell Oil SCCX 652 Yellow Tin Litho Tank Car Train

This vintage Marx O gauge Shell Oil tank car, road number S.C.C.X. 652, is a classic piece of mid-century tin litho toy train history, featuring the yellow tank body with bold red SHELL lettering, printed capacity and tare weight markings, U.S. Safety Appliances Standard text, a molded ladder and dome fitting on top, and Return to Shell Oil Co., Martinez, Calif. lithographed details; the car rolls on its original four-wheel metal trucks and shows the fair, honest wear you'd expect from a toy of this age, including surface scratches, fading and paint loss on the tank, rust and oxidation on the trucks, wheels, and dome fitting, and general patina from decades of play and storage, but it remains structurally solid and displays beautifully as-is for a collector, restorer, or anyone building out a vintage O gauge layout; this is one piece from a larger set, so if you're interested in additional cars, please reach out before or after purchase and I'm happy to put together a bundle and combine shipping to save you money; sold as pictured, please review photos closely as they are part of the description, and reach out with any questions before bidding or buying.
