1959 HO F unit red and white Texas Special. All I can remember of the freight were to me what were oddballs. The three head tank car and the flat car with light up nuclear power (waste?). Probably Marx purchased at either the base PX, Sears or at Western Auto, 29 Palms, CA. The sets snapt track was soon attached to a green painted 4x8 with painted roads and a rerailer at each road crossing for a total of four. It made six continental trips before the last of my brothers outgrew it. Remnants passed on to a brothers children 15 years ago and are still rolling. I think the count is ten kids hands it passed through. My folks saw one toy (excluding footballs and baseball mitts) that outlasted our childhood.
