I've seached Ebay and google (to the best of my ability) and I haven't found a similar set. Does anyone have any info as to when this set was made, is it complete, and what value (if any) it has ?
Thanks !
Here's the missing photo.
It might be helpful if you had pictures of the set or some sort of description of the set, as your posting offers no indication of what set you have and are trying to identify.
Twice I've tried to attach a photo without success. Obviously I'm doing something wrong. I'll attempt it again later.

You need to use something like shutterfly.com to host your picture
Under rules and policey's is how to post pics
Here is Bob's post about it
Here's how to post a photo in the forum:
Step 1: Prepare your photo. It should be saved in JPG or GIF format, and no more than 1 megapixel in size (approx. 1000x1000 pixels).
Step 2: Upload your photo elsewhere. You can't actually post a photo in a Forum message. What you can do is post a link in your message that calls a photo posted elsewhere. So you'll have to put your photo somewhere on the Web that's publicly viewable. Many Forum members use Photobucket, Imgur, Flickr, or their personal websites. Whatever hosting site you use, make sure your settings allow your photo to be viewed by anyone, or all you'll get is a broken-image icon. The Model Railroader User Gallery won't work, because it requires you to be logged in. Any site that requires a login won't work, even if visibility is set to Public. That includes Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and the like.
Step 3: Copy the address. Right-click (or on a Mac, control-click) to view the image by itself, not embedded in a web page. Copy the address of the photo from the address bar at the top. If it doesn't end in ".jpg" or ".gif", you're still looking at the picture on a web page, not the picture itself.
Step 4: Start your post. Create a new post on the Forum as usual, using either the Reply function on an existing thread or the blue "Create a new discussion topic" button in the Forum list view.
Step 5: Insert your picture. Click the "Insert/edit image" button above the message window. It looks like a picture of a mountain and the sun. Click it and paste the image URL you copied into the "Source" box in the window that comes up. Then click OK. Repeat and add text as necessary. Then post as usual.
By the way since Bob posted this Photobucket started sharing to use there site as a host site.

I uploaded the photos to Photobucket. Let me try it again tonight.
Thanks for the instructions.
Did this work ?
Photobucket "outlawed" third party posting of photos, which is what posting one in a thread here would be. Try Flikr or Shutterfly.
Other than that, if you can give us any numbers that may be on the side of the locomotive or on the cars someone may be able to help.
Trains, trains, wonderful trains. The more you get, the more you toot!
Unless you pay there fee you will get a wierd image here
Shutterfly is free as is a few others
And that's why I don't post pictures here! I have enough stress in my life I can't deal with something that should be so simple.....

They go to a sign-in page.
I can but there so small can't really see what they are, there about a 1" square picture, even after I sign in.
OK now that he has us all worked up, I'd like to know what he has. I don't see any pic's or numbers.

I can get the pics but they are tiny. I down loaded the pic of the set and then blew it up and although fuzzy it is a key wind set. Looks like your everyday set. has engine, tender, Gondola, and caboose.
Yes that is what it seems to be
Even thou not a expensive set, they are somewhat collectable I need to add. From wht I see, it is a nice set. Even thou not sure if it is complete. Thanks for sharing
