That looks like some sort of block detector/ signal driver. But I can't find anything about it on the web.

The little steam engine is American Flyer HO. Looks like a nice vintage lot!

Nice find. As DaCheez said, the 433 loco is American Flyer/Gilbert. It appears to be missing the slope back tender that has the pickups and supplies power to the engine.

That's an Indiana High Speed Trolley. The model was produced by Pennsylvania Scale Models, and later acquired by Bowser. Nice piece!

Looks hand-made or at least kitbashed. From the Lionel peir next to it, I'd say its G gauge or Gauge 1, Probably gauge 1 due to the size of the rails. Looks like whoever made it used it for subway operations (or the sort) due to there being 3rd rails and how sharp the curve is (plus how steep the grade is, looks like one track goes up, camera angle makes it hard to tell.)

Its also missing one point, so trains can only turn right
