Tyco Rock Island Express train set

Short video of a Tyco set i have. This is the same set that got me started in model railroading. I got it for my 3rd birthday. It didn't last long but it got me hooked on the hobby (all i have left of it is the power pack and engine shell).
Then in late 2006 i managed to snag the same set on Ebay. It came with a C-430 so i bought a sharknose to make it complete.
This is the first of a few train setsi have that i'll be posting on here .

i found a whole box of these train models in my attic, no tracks thoe, if only i could find them! my dad said that he sold all of the other train sets and tracks, maybe if im lucky il find them again in the future, i myself never got a chance to use them,

My brothers and I had a set very similar to this that my dad either bought or won. This would have probably been around 1978 or 1979. I remember the set came with quite a lot of accessories, like a car hauler, telephone poles, cattle car, etc. I wish I still had the set, but I'm sure we probably broke the thing as kids.
