My local shop has the following for sale, price unknown but very reasonable....All items are in a Marx box lettered for#8996 NS. With the following contents:black tin steamer, 0-4-0 type, it has a DC can motor up front driving the lead axle, no provision for side rods, a manual reverse, no center rail pick up shoe. Black sguare NYC tender, a blue #554 General coal hopper, a silver #553 ATSF tank car, a beige #555 refeer for Colorado Southern, a red NYC #556 caboose with one end having a railing and end ladder, a dual lite search lite car, with black base and a copper top where the lights mount, no lettering, has a sliding shoe pick up, a small black transformer for AC only, shows 7-13 volts. All cars are in excellent or better condition with no signs of rust and only a slight bit of paint loss, all are 4 wheel cars with hook couplers. None of the cars shoe any manufacture labels and no lettering on engine. Whould any one hazard a guess on what we have here, I am thinking pre-war Marx.\\
Thanks, Marty
