| Looks like a Cox military train...the road grader and ordnance truck and trailer are loads that go with it. The others are just Army toys of one sort or another.

Thanks Shay. The motor is missing I just found out. I took it apart all the wheels are there but only the brushes and the wiring is left. No head light either!
Can I get a replacement motor for it that you know of.

I agree. I just saw a complete set in the box at an antique show last weekend. The guy wanted $150 for it, which might have been fair but was too much for me. Too bad you don't have the big rail gun, but you can pretty easily find the recent Model Power remakes.
In the condition it's in, it's probably not worth a fortune. But if it was me, I wouldn't kitbash it. I'd clean it up and keep it as-is. It's kind of a neat thing.
Love your picture by the way...we have another guy (microbusss) who's famous for his dumpster-cam. You've just invented the dryer-cam!

Agreed - Cox F3 and set. Interesting stuff, especially the 50' plugdoor-box-turned-bunk-car, but not really rare and desirable.
The second pic you have shows a CN ore car which looks like it's from one of the President's Choice train sets. It's a Mehano/AHM/IHC car.
The Santa Fe caboose looks like an Athearn piece; the Penn Central car appears to be a Train-Miniature offering; the yellow and orange stock car is Tyco all the way, baby; and the red stock car looks like an AHM car.

Does anyone know where I can get a picture of the complete set. I would like to save it but would like to see the full set so I know what I need to complete it.
Thanks
