This tunnel has been in my family for many years... I heard it may be somewhat valuable. Anyone know anything about it?
Thanks alot.

I don't know who would have made it but I can tell you that it looks to have been made in the 1920's or 30's and that its most likley to gain a few hundred dollars to the right collector.

Hey,
I worked in a hobby shop a few years ago, we had a couple of tunnels like that one on the shelves behind the counter. I want to say that they were Marx. If you look on E-bay under tinplate tunnel or O-27 tunnel you might find something similar.

I had one of those too, I think its Marx tin lithograph.
You might want to try our Lionel and American Flyer forum for a better answer... this forum is for the discussion of HO and N scale models.
