You might also try the marxtrain group on Yahoo. There is a table there that lists approximate dates for various engines. Marx made a lot of 999's. I think there are about 3 different styles which are determined by the cow catchers! Folks at either site can probably offer a closer estimate on the age. The more information from the box or any other numbers would be beneficial.

Recently purchased a marx train at an auction.  Just now getting into model railroading.  I have the origional box with transformer, engine,coal car, box car, caboose and another car.  Made of tin with the track.  I think it was made in the 1940's not for sure.  where can I go to find out when it was made.  the number on the engine is 999.
