Marx collectors comment more on this?

Here's some good info on it, from Ed's blog:http://toyconnect.blogspot.com...freight-station.html

Here's the whole set, again from Ed Berg's blog:https://lh5.googleusercontent....eight+Station+62.JPG

the freight station was not particularly a train accessory. it was just one of many play sets that happened to work well with trains. here is one with most of the included accessories. both ramps are often missing.at the time of these photo's, i had two large ramps, only one comes with it.  the narrow ramp and most of the plastic parts came in various colors. a nice station itself, about $30-60.00, the more accessories, the higher the price will go. a nice, complete set can sometimes near $200.00. there is a hard to find, slightly different colored version that will go for around the $300.00 range.

I rather imagine that there was no standard set of car and acessory colors for this toy.  Whatever plastic was available was the car "flavor" of the day that was packed.  Still a nice looking piece.  We got this item for $35.

the contents of a set was consistent, just not the colors.

Steve,

I have had one of these for years (it was one of the things that was stolen, that was successfully recovered).

I never knew that it had originally come with all the neat plastic trucks and accessories.

Very cool, sir!
