Looking for information on the Allstate/Marx model number for the train set I had as a child. It had a New Haven diesel with a second engine, a gondola, a tank car, but most importantly a yellow body gondola with a gray opening top, that contained an air force missle, which could be launced on the run with a flip up lever mounted trackside. If you have any info on this particular set or where I might find one, I would appreciate your help. Thanks.
Hello William. According to my Greenberg Marx set book:
Allstate set 9620 - 2 New Haven diesels, power and dummy
NYC RR green boxcar, white Allstate rocket fuel, 2824 USAF missile car, caboose matches black,orange & white engines. 027 track probably had black roadbed.
I have one, but at quick glance, I can't find the missile. The launcher car is there, but no missile. The whole set is in its orginal box. Been this way for several decades.
