I bought this delightful set about forty years ago and have never found anything more about it.
The assembled four pieces are about 19.5" long and the height to the top of the locomotive cabin is 3".
Any ideas? I will appreciate information on the item. I currently have it on display in an acrylic case.
Thanks.

Hi, I did a little research on your train and found one that sold at auction in 2005 for $400. Try Noel Barrett Auctions.
Thanks! I'm going to contact the auction house and will post the reply.
