I had a train set as a kid (no clue where it is now) that looked exactly like that, only the engine was also gunmetal gray, about the same color as the passenger cars. Darn thing was pesky as all heck to play with... the connectors were these tiny little nubbins that were supposed to fit inside the much larger sockets of the female end of the coupling. And considering the surface I had to play with them on was gold french knot carpet (I'm sure you know the kind, with the patterned alterations between large and small...), they didn't get much use. I was incredibly fond of them, all the same.
