I have a 5 piece USMC set that I cannot find information on regarding the set number. It includes the 212 diesel, 6803, 6807, and 6808 flat cars with USMC vehicles and a 6017-50 caboose although the caboose box says 6017-60?
Any help identifying the set number and if anything else was included in the set would be appreciated.
Thanks
Nick

I found an 027 set from 1958, only one car number is different. It is set # 1591, military set with the following items; 212, 6803, 6807, 6809, 6017-50. No mention of any track with the set in Greenberg's guide. The price from Greenberg's guide (2014)in excellent condition, meaning no scratches or dings and looks like it is brand new, is $885.00.

Lee, thank you. The 6808 was a typo, it is indeed the 6809. Also thank you for the pricing information. You have answered my question and I thank you again.
Nick.
Your welcome, Nick. There is a 6809 from the same year and it too is a military item.
