My parents bought me the Circa 1971 Silver Star Set with 6-8141 2-4-2 plastic Steam Locomotive and tender in Gunmetal Gray with red stripe and Mighty Sound of Steam when the loco tether was connected to the tender. It came with a yellow 6-9020 Union Pacific flat car with black plastic stakes, a Light Blue 6-9011 Great Northern hopper, green 6-9142 Republic Steel Gondola with cannisters and jade 6-9062 Penn Central Caboose packed in a styrofoam container with a light blue 6-4150 50W transformer. Most likely purchased at the Bailey's Crossroads ToysRUs in Northern Virginia where in 1973, I got to pick out a navy & yellow 6-8250 AT&SF GP-9 from what appeared to me at the time to be a huge wall of Lionel MPC trains.
