The easiest way to tell if a 333 has a smoke unit or not is by the cab windows. Smokeless 333's do not have the visor. All smoking 333's have the sun visors. The diecast tender was usually paired with the smoking 333. I collect all things, Marx. I still have my original 666 from 1954. I'm also very fond of the scale tinplate litho cars. Some are considered rare. I have most of them.I managed to get a good deal on a couple of very old, still NIB never ran before. There are versions with the scale 3/16 scale trucks and newer versions of the same cars wirh the lager type D trucks wirh stamped frames that were produced to run with the larger 1/48 th scale #21 F3 diesels that Marx produce to compete with Lionels scale 2333 F3's. You have several good boxcars and gondolas. There are several flat cars with pipe loads that are hard to find. The hoppers are another scarce item. The AT&SF stock car is another scarce car that usually fetches top dollar. There are 2 types of gondolas. The standard gondola and a high side gondola. There are 3 different tank cars. A GREEN Cities Service, yellow Shell, and the common silver Niacet Cemicals Corp. The boxcars are Pennsylvania, NY NH & Hartford, GAEX, NYC Pacemaker, Union Pacific Challenger and the Pacific Fruit Express refer. I know of two scale cabeese. The NYC and Reading. There is a Santa Fe tin litho caboose with the larger type D trucks that was made to run with the #21 F3 diesels. I have at least one of everything mentioned. Good luck with your quest.
😅Hi Allen, if the 333 has long cab shades it has a smoke unit. The same for the 1829 loco.

Marx produced the 333 locomotive for the purpose of competing directly with Lionel. It was designed to be a scale model rather than a toy.
Yes it's definitely their most realistic model.
Not all 333 have smoke units, but it is possible to get them with smoke units
Yeah I keep buying them hoping to get one
