| Ken--those look like they are 1 generation Tyco as they have loop - n - hook couplers. The loco probably has a better made motor than later tyco's[:D]

yeah buddy, that loco looks like a/the "Lil' Six" like I have. Mine is the Mantua version. It runs squeaky clean, too.
If you own one of these, congrats! You'll be pleased with it.

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.
"I love your catenary!"
Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?

| I've got the caboose, except it has 'periods' in between each letter, and I've got the loco, except mine is lettered for SP. Clean and oiled, won't find a better-running little loco--all metal, very heavy. The little six and 0-4-0 Booster are same loco, just eliminate the rear drivers. Surprised the lettering in the pic is so clear, as it often wears off with age.

| Maybe someone else here with more experience with selling and Ebay could say. I would say that the TYCO lettering would make them more desireable than otherwise, but you'd have to get the right buyer. An average loco and caboose like that might fetch $30 (just a wild guess). I paid only $2 for my caboose. I've never done much with my caboose, as it has the hook and loop coupler on one end, and a horn-hook on the other. Needs to be fixed to bring back to original. I think it needs a smoke jack also. Ken--if you are looking for a caboose like that, PM me..it's yours for all the help you've given me.
