Marx Battleground, Training Center, and Other Military Playset Pieces - Marx Toys, Inc. Repo Training Center Jeep - HP

Back on 19 July I posted the large Marx Training Center Jeep. Rumors in the Meta groups had it that there was a repo out there somewhere as well...

...I got one! This came in a recently acquired job lot of Marx playset accessories and turns out it was made by Marx Toys, Inc. (aka Modern Marx, New Marx, Marx of Miami) ca1990's and distributed by the now defunct Excalibur Hobbies. I did not take it out of the package to photograph and am debating whether I should or not. I can see by looking in the bag that the wheelsets have been replaced by more robust ones. The body color is close to the original. I've noticed with other repo Marx vehicles that in nearly all cases the original wheelsets have been replaced by other castings. Anything from this large Jeep, to the smaller trucks used in their construction playsets, as well as the even smaller cars (like the ones that came with their filling stations or Marxville line of buildings) - all of the the repos have different style wheelsets.

Look closely at the wheels and compare to the originals in the photo below. The repo appears to have metal axles.
