From Sitka and pennsyfan...box cars in a freight train...these are the so called "scale" cars by Marx ( S scale but O gauge).  These were developed 1939-1940 and offered first time in 1941.  While the war did not curtail much for the 1941 season, scarcity of supplies affected the 1942 season and although some retailers got these trains in 1942 the large companies did not as production quantity was limited.  They did re-emerge after the war and the peak of production appears to be 1948.  They lasted until about 1957.
