Not sure what it is worth but my guess is more than $15.00. Had an old Marx Santa FE engine set with five cars that ran on a figure eight s-gauge track 45 years ago and it cost a lot more than fifteen dollars at that time. In fact, your posting has left me wondering whatever happened to that train set.
