That is a great find, especially with the box. Wyandotte is one of the great mfg's of toys. Lot's of "streamline" cars, and even a couple gas tankers by them. As far as the value, not sure any more. They used to be pricey, but with the current economy, they've fallen like everything else.
I believe in the last week or two, one sold on ebay. No box, obviously not as nice as this one, but it might give you a starting place.

I have one, but it's just the metal station. All the snap in parts (pumps, signs) and figures are all missing. Made by Marx.

Marx is what I have too, I started collecting them cause they were cheap less than 20 bucks. But like so many things they have gone up. All I can say is WOW! that is a nice one I would put that in a sealed tupperware or rubbermaid storage container with a descant bag. It will only go up in value if it's preserved.
