One thing about that is while they were cheap, they were also well build with simple components and designs. With rare exceptions, few of them are really that valuable, but if you want to run post war three rail trains, they're usually inexpensive, parts are readily available because Marx made a LOT of them, and they are easy to repair and get running. The highest quality Marx are probably their 7/16 scale tinplate line. They're stamped metal lithographed cars that are basically S scale running on O gauge track. The best steam locomotive Marx made was the 333, a 4-6-2 Pacific (pic) that is also 7/16 scale. There's also more whimsical for wheel tinplate cars made well into the 1960s.
