Lionel / FunDimensions didn't sell their premier passenger trains as "sets" during this time period, they were all separate sale.

It does look like you are describing the Illinois Central extruded aluminum City Of New Orleans "set": 8580/8582/8581 F3 ABA diesel units, 7220 baggage, 7221 Pontchartrain combo, 7222 King Coal, 7223 Banana Road, 7224 General Beauregard dining car and a 7225 Memphis observation:

8580 Set

That really is an awesome set! Can be had relatively cheap these days.

 

Actual sales on eBay over the past month show: 

There have been a lot for sale.

4 passenger cars $83, 5 passenger cars $331., 6 passenger cars $300. Single cars about $25.

Entire sets in boxes $400-$999.

The 2 engines $225-$521.

Notice the range of prices for a given item. I suspect the lower ones were early birds getting low "buy it now" prices, where very high ones may have had a number of bidders.
