The Marx 4040 train set, a beloved vintage toy from the mid-20th century, is known for its distinctive chugging sound. This electric set features a 490 0-4-0 steam engine equipped with a mechanical chugging mechanism—a brass strip hitting a metal plate inside the engine to simulate the sound of a working locomotive.
