Hi, I found my husbands train from when he was a little boy. I was hoping you could help me with what I have here. It's a Spirit of 76 Tyco train with a gold seal of the president on either side and the numbers 1776 on the back. The caboose part has spirit of 76 on the side of the train and then on the back it says FEC 76870... Can anyone help, I can't find anything about this particular train?

Thank you, I realize this might sound rude since you folks are all collectors but is it worth anything?
