I have a Marx guide and could look up values for you. Like Big Boy said, I'll need descriptions of the engine and cars. I can tell you now that your train is O27 gauge.

Marx was a very prominent maker of lower-cost toy trains as well as other toys. Marx is named for Louis Marx, the company's founder. Marx was in business from the early 1930's until the late 70's. At one time Marx was the largest toy manufacturer in the world with factories in many countries.

What you need is a copy of Greenberg's Guide to MARX Trains. Some of the people here may be able to help you, but they will want descriptions of the pieces including numbers, in order to do that.
