Dad's 751W trainset came in the mail

[Todon]

My husband's father passed away several years ago and Christmas eve his train set came in the mail.  It is the 751W set which included all three cars, an extra 753 body top, lots of track, 2 bridges and some type of red, green crossing signal.  All of the cars came in their original boxes.  The train cars are not in the best shape as the engine's under carriage by the wheels is cracked and missing pieces.  The last car is missing the end cap piece.  Both vestibules are with the set which is a bonus.  I have been on Ebay and been googling the internet for information and came across this site.  I read through the posts from January of 09 where the 1934 train set had been donated and the discussion was very interesting.  I now know that my set is not from 1934 but would like more information on how to tell the difference between 1935 and 36.  Also does anyone know exactly what came in a complete set?  This would help me to know if we received all of the pieces.  Thanks for all of your help.

 I don't know the answer, but you will get a better response on the Classic Toy Trains forum.  This forum - Classic Trains - focuses on the real railroads in the 30'-70's time period.

If you click on Classic Toy Trains button above and then the forum button on that page it will take you to the Classic Toy Trains forum.

Good luck
