Hello All--Picked up some interesting items today--some Airfix Western figure sets (any idea of year?), a bay window caboose (no maker's marks), a Tyco Canadiana box (if any of you up North would like to purchase, PM me), and two Lionel HO American Freedom Train cars. These are really neat--one displays the Liberty Bell and early autos, while the other has historical scenes from the 60's and 70's. Two of the 4 stirrups on each car are broken, but otherwise in good condition. Anyone know anything else about these?

I think the caboose is a Varney bay window caboose. The Marx had cast on marker lights. The varney had holes to install their marker lights at each end. I see these! Also the marx is stamped on the bottom. frank toptrain
