Great find Francis! Reminds me of when I got my NYC Marbelite 1058 from a tag sale near me. You going to hook it up to a controller?

Not only did she spy a signal, but she identified it to be free of Barnes yellow. :thumbsup:

You need to buy that girl a pony...

Ha ha...thanks gang. She is a smart kid, and it was a fun moment with her. She was glad to see my excitement over it.

Aside from my daughter's connection to it, I just love that light somehow...even more than other similar ones I have come across in the past. I like the mismatched lenses and the short visors. Even the little bit of damage it has (slightly mashed visors, and the green door won't close flush) adds some character. The finish is a municipal repaint of green over green. It really needs to have an old NJ mast arm with guy wirres to happily hang from.

I've decided to cluster this with my other flat-top. Since this has 7" tunnels, and the other has 7" "Tuttaways", I think it looks really nice and compact for indoor display. It also strikes me as the Marb counterpart to Signalfan's CH 2-way with the mixed visors (I always loved that one). Right now it's a mix of black, green, and unpainted parts...will be all green when finished.

its looking GREAT, it really stands out with the panelling in the background! :thumbsup:

I'm going to steal that pointy Marb cluster connector thingie some day when you're not looking... :yes:
