From photos, that set LOOKS original and with plastic diesels and metal cars, l would consider it an uncommon and desirable set. What is the set number on the end of the box? Bob Whitacre's Greenberg book on Marx sets puts sets with plastic E-7's in #40000-44999, and 45800-46975. Sears (Happi-time) sets were numbered 9500-9999. Diesel freight sets with 1095 plastic Santa Fe and 3/16 metal cars are common and two are listed in Bob's book. With the NYC diesels it is less common but believable.
