This is for the Marx HO expert. I received today a Marx HO Santa Fe orange boxcar #3281. I puchased it on the bay. The car arrived in a brown cardboard box that came from sears (original box). The car has seven black tires in it. Was this a mail in offer. The car is in mint codition, maybe never out of the box. Any Info would be nice.

a box like this?
...or as part of a set in a Sears set box?
a chapter of Marx (Greenberg) Vol II is HO, but nothing is mentioned there. my guess would be an owner modification. a Sears promo would more than likely be a Sears (automotive) boxcar.
The Marx orange Sears Santa Fe Boxcar is rather uncommon and was often a component of "Allstate" branded HO by Marx sets. I have two on display. I believe the tires were a owner added mod.Mine came in Allstate boxed sets. These boxcars were often sold separately in a "blister pack". Here are some pix of my Marx HO sets.
