Streamline 52960 info

Found my dad’s train still in original box and never used. Was bought from a Western Auto more than 50yrs ago. I can’t find any info out and was wondering if this is a rare one or if someone could point me in the right direction.

Without the name of a manufacturer on the box or the bottom of the train, or a more thorough description, there’s not much anyone here will be able to do for an item that old unless you can provide a picture. By “train,” I assume you mean a complete set, with locomotive, a few cars, track, and a power transformer? There should be a brand name and model number or name somewhere on the box.
