A friend asked me to put this train set on for her. She told me it was her Grandfathers. She said it has been sitting in a closet for years and she does not know if it runs properly. 

For the record, I am stating loud and clear, I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT TRAIN SETS!

So, if you are really interested in this train set, feel free to ask questions, which I will try to answer. 

This train set was made by Louis Marx & Company, Inc. There is a number stamped on one end of the box: 64362. I am guessing that this train was made in the early 1950\'s. 

This set comes with 54 pieces of track:

6 - 4 inch straight pieces

21 - 7.5 inch straight pieces

20 - 8 inch curved pieces

2 crossroads

2 switch tracks

3 misc pieces

There are 5 car boxes inside the main box, but one is empty. 

The 4 train cares in the box are as follows: 

*HO Marx 1540 Central Railroad Company Of New Jersey. 

*HO Marx 20298 New York Central System. 

*HO Marx 160149 Southern Pacific. 

*HO Marx BM 7700

There is also a power pack with speed/direction lever. 

There are no markings on the bottom of the engine, but all the other cars are marked on bottom with a circle and the letters MAR in the circle. 

Everything looks in good clean condition to me, but as I already stated, I know nothing about train sets.
