From "Standard Catalog of Lionel Trains" by David Doyle (2004):

"The same components, without the outer outfit carton, are just a group of trains, and lose their outfit, or set, distinction, and much of the value listed below. In addition to the locomotives and rolling stock shown in these listings, outfits typically came with insturction books and sheets, wire, lock-on, accessory catalogs, brochures, smoke pellets and tampers (if applicable), and miniature billboards. All of these items must be present to realize the full value shown."

2201WS (Type I): 1953 4-Car Freight: 685, 6006W, 6462, 6464-50, 6465, 6537
Ex - $750 LN - $1200

Unfortunately, David's book does not list the small items included with the sets. Sounds like you've got most, if not all, of them.[:)]
