MARX 2-4-2 Locomotive ~ SOUTHERN PACIFIC ~ Double-Reduction Rd# 666 - O-27

Description: The term “double reduction” means that there are two steps in the gearing. The motor runs at a higher rate for any given speed. That means these locos typically move a little slower, run a little smoother and can pull more cars than a single reduction motor. A second effect is that the gear attached to the drive wheels has a smaller diameter. That makes the thickness of the flange a bit less and makes it possible for those locos to travel through some other brands of switches. If the gears go all the way to the edge of the flange, it is single reduction. If the gear teeth do not go to the edge, it is double reduction. The 635 (0-4-0) Mercury sparking – these may have different size gears from other double reduction motors. 897 (0-4-0) Army version 994 (0-4-0) Numbers below the cab window and shade over the headlight. These are rare and came with light weight plastic cars in the sets. All 994 black electrics were double reduction. 995 (0-4-0) the red ones are double reduction 999 (2-4-2) look for the Marx logo on the cab and not on the boiler. These are hard to find. 999 (2-4-2) Plain pilot 999 (2-4-2). There are some Mexican production 999's with a double reduction motor that have a blank circle rather than a Marx logo on the side of the cab. But there is still no logo on the boiler on those. The 3000 (2-4-2) Canadian Pacific gray boiler/maroon and gold side boards. Maybe you should get the loved-one in your life a gift of jewelry while you get your Railroad item.
