The box cover illustration alone would be worth the price of admission.

The whole set did. The box was lithographed with pictures representing the 1939 New York World's Fair. Including the Trylon and Perisphere, stream lined biplanes with swept wings, and of course the PRR 6-4-4-6 S-1 loco.
The entire set looked like it had just come off the store shelf, and the price lithographed on the box? A whopping $39.95!
