Marx HoneyMoon Express
This is a wind up Honeymoon Express toy by Marx. The train runs around in a circle. The bridge and tunnels hold the outer ring on. A very simple lithographed toy.
Marx made many different versions of the Honeymoon Express. This version has a Union Pacific City of Portland M10,000 passenger train on it. This one dates this to 1934-37 because that’s when the M10,000 was popular.
The Union Pacific’s M10,000 was the first diesel powered streamlined train. The cars were permanently coupled together, and the train was futuristic. The real train went on a multi city tour, and received lots of publicity. Almost all the toy companies in the 1930s made City Of Portland toys. Marx also made Windup and Electric O gauge models of the UP M10,000.
