To all-I have got what appears to be a set that Sears sold.There is no set box but it consists of 2 219 Alcos,a red Airex box,6175 missle car,6801 boat car and a brown 6017 caboose.It has the small transformer,a black trestle set,crossover track and manual uncoupler ramp.Any thoughts? Thanks,Lou

I think that might be an old lionel set from the late 50s

Lou, my books only indicate that the 219 ALCo AA was an uncataloged item made in 1959, and that it was made for a set and therefore had no separate boxes.

IIRC, there was a book that reproduced Sears (and other?) catalog pages showing train sets. Perhaps one of this forum’s members has a copy and can provide more info.
