My first train set was an Allstate (Marx). I still have it. The engine was a Marx #666 (2-4-2). It runs great! I got it for Christmas 1958. It was a 9-piece set with transformer (blue) and O34 track. It may also have had other accessories. As I recall, the train cars were:
- Smoking 2-4-2 locomotive (black, metal, very durable)
- Tender
- Tank car (blue)
- B&M box car
- Large flatcar
- Evans Autoloader w/ 4 plastic cars
- Short flatcar w/ Trailer
- Crane (NYC?)
- boom-type AT&SF caboose (red)
