Ver , Very , Very nice score for a flea market!! The box did not come with a lid , it came from the factory shrink wrapped like the Tyco train sets were.
A lone amature built the ark! A large group of professionals built the titanic!

I has no idea if it is Tyco tho cause frame wheels & trucks are metal but it has the "silloettes" (sp) like the Amtrak cars
there is no markings on the bottom of metal frame

| Nice looking car microbusss! That is in fact a Tyco. The streamliners from the 60's and early 70's all had metal bases and trucks.

I've actually never seen that movie. I'll have to watch it sometime.
The CP Rail train in HO would be cool.
You could try some fine sandpaper (emery paper? :S) on the wheels. That usually seems to do the trick.
