Nice Railroad made by Plastimarx (Mexico) This set1 contains 12 sections of straight roads, 8 curved sections, 1 locomotive, 1 coal carrier, 1 gondola, 1 cage car, and 1 cabuz. Includes its original instructions and Packaging as well. This is in very good condition. Almost as if nobody played with the set at all. I dont know if it works still. I put 2 batteries in it but nothing happened. Im not about to take it apart at this point. I cant find any info on this train but 1 other one like it on the whole internet. Plastimarx was a Mexican wing of Lois Marx. I don’t know when Plastimarx ceased, but it was long after the demise of the Quaker Oats fiasco. Many of Marx toys and cheaper trains were produced in Mexico, mostly battery and clockwork, but some electric trains were made. A lot of the mexican train production is based on Hafner/Wyandot which Marx had bought. Most of the Plastimarx was 4 wheel plastic. Digging a bit more, we find that Diaz Barreiro was listed as a licensee of Marx at a plant in Mexico City from 1952 -1957. According to the news report, 1958 (late 1957) would be the incorporation and registration of Plastimarx. Around that time Plastimarx (with some Marx Ownership) began making toys for Fisher Price for pre-NAFTA sale in Mexico. Note that at the time, Quaker Oats owned Fisher Price, so the addition of Plastimarx was a good fit. I assume the Plastmarx ownership interest went with the sale, because 1979 is the last year of registration and Dunbee-Combex-Marx files for bankruptcy in early 1980, closing the last plant at Glendale.
