First, is a 208 toolbox with  pictures of the tools which were inside of it. All I can find in my reference material is that the 208 tool box was furnished with several different work trains in the middle 30s. Were these work trains O or standard gauge?  Can anyone tell me if the tools I show are a complete set or are there tools missing?

Second is a picture of serval different miscellaneous items which I have no idea what they are. I’m guessing the crown shaped nickel plated item might be a pilot light cover for a 91 circuit breaker.

Any information on any of these items that anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks and all of you have a great weekend.

The tool kit you have is complete, with the correct tools, and was issued from 1934-1942.  The tools were part of a Work Train, Set 385E/W and were in the gondola.  Not sure if the box came with this, in this particular set.  It was also sold as a Separate Sale Item, and if used with "0" gauge, it would have been a similar Work Train, of freight cars.  The likely locomotives would have been 260E, 263E, as a work train.  Nice score.
