Howdy Init4fun..!
that's the exact xfmr that came with the train set I was given as a kid. Those were big cars, I'd guess the locomotive weighed 5 pounds..
You could put smoke pellets down the smoke stack...[I guess it had a heating element]
IIRC the coal car had the whistle, there was a Minute Man Missle Car and also a self propelled "tie-ejector" car with a gravelly sound when it ran
I tried to get my son and his friends to stop playing nintendo long enough to play with it...with no luck
So in the early 1990s I advertised it for X amount of dollars and the only responses I got were from angry "Railroad Guys" who were whining about my price being too high.
I eventually sold it to some kid's Mom or some man's wife for my asking price.
Whatever the price was that I got.....it's probably worth 10 times more now...?
