You're probably not going to be able to find this particular set however it's contents are very common items. The engine is like 20 - 50 dollars depending on box and condition and the freight cars are 3 - 5 dollars a piece. The locomotive is the 2-8-0 tender drive in ATSF.

Camp out on ebay! They turn up from time to time. I want the Royal Blue deluxe set from that same time frame. That was my first train set as a child. Not many are out there that have all the boxes ect. Mike Still NT's, I have Aspergers.

I wonder if mlf ever got his set? RP- heads up, there is a set of real sweet NIB Cox log cars in there. Also a really neat F unit with some food advertisement on it, only $25, but from Canada, $17 shipping, blech!

Thanks Chops. I'll keep it in mind. "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven." - Matthew 5:16
