@G-Man24 I found one of the carriages ages ago and the William Crookes Set has been on my radar since then!

GMan24: that Marx “William Crooks” set with the box etc is quite valuable.

I have to admit when you guys were calling it William Crooks I was confused. A quick Google search and I realized that Marx had re-branded the set as "Tales of Wells Fargo" I also see the same set was marketed as "Pioneer Old Fashioned Train Set".

Then I remembered a broken piece of plastic that was in the bottom of the box of stuff. It said Wm. Cro..... but it didn't look like it broke off the Wells Fargo tender so I had no idea where it came from. Now it all makes sense...

I'm afraid it also answers what happed to the Locomotive, apparently it met an unceremonious demise.
