I found an Anheuser Bush partial set today and was wanting to get some additional information about it. It has UP 440 steam loco and a 34ft old time box car"budweiser" The original brown carton is pretty good and the loco and box car are in there plain brown boxes. There is track and transformer...not in boxes. I am wanting to see what else(rolling stock, etc) was included. The Item number printed on the outer box is AA40-0407C. Thanks!!!

Google is your friend, just do what Hunt did and use Google.

Roger T. -- A logical guess on your part, but FYI -- I did not use Google.

To an Anheuser beer collector guess less than $75 ? ? ? - to a model train collector most likely zero $. But then part of what auctions are for is to find the person that is willing to pay something for an item most have no interest in.

I would guess it would be worth between $15-40 depending on if you find the right buyer. Most likely though about $20.
