Bunny Express


Here is the rare Marx Bunny Express.
Apparently in 1935 Marx decided to market a train set for Easter. It flopped! It seems that boys were not interested in a bunny pulling carloads of chicks and ducklings around their train track, and, girls were not interested in trains!
Imagine that! In hindsight, it's hard to believe that this was attempted at all!
In typical Marx fashion, there is more than one version of the set. The bunny engines have either pink eyes with red pupils or blue eyes with black pupils!

This picture shows the 352 gondolas. One side of each gondola is red/orange with hatchling chicks while the other side is blue with ducklings.
Cars are found on pink, lavendar, pale green, and baby blue frames.
