I think that is one of the original sets? The box I saw for one said "Cross County," the instructions say "Cross Country" ?
That’s a Sears catalog Cross County, C-O-U-N-T-Y set, lol. They mis labeled it as a country set. It’s fairly rare, I picked up one a while back and it tripped me out cause I missed the entry for it in the catalog cause they put it with the train sets. I hadn’t known of it till I saw it, then rechecked the catalog and it was there.
It was made in 1981 and is a clone to the 3205 set, except for having the catalog 33## item number. Even the 3205’s are far and few between.
No box so I’d probably pass on it other than just for getting the content sheet. It seemed most of the parts were in kinda shitty condition if I recall correctly. Even the one I got I tried to discount with an offer and I ended up replacing 90% of it, after I told the seller it wasn’t worth the asking price. I just couldn’t pass it up though…

Oh, that seems to be the standard way to number the catalog sets.
AFAIK J.C. Penny sets start with “P” and end with “Q”. Sears sets start with “S” and end with “Q”. I’ve never seen a Montgomery Wards set in a Tyco catalog box.
The ones I know for sure are S3302Q, S3311Q, P3320Q, 3330, P3336Q, S3344Q,.
I recently saw an export Sears catalog set that has a 3405 set number. It was a unique 3226 C2C Haulers set. I’d more precisely say it was a 3336 Empire variant though. Oddly it had two freight terminals in it, and a gravel terminal. Used the track layout of the 3226/3336.
That gave me the inclination that export Catalog sets use a 34 set prefix number.
And some catalog sets sold in their retail boxes, like the 3330 and 3311. And some retain their 32 prefix but are in Tyco catalog set boxes.
