Note the difference between the Pepsi model presented in TYCO's original catalog group and the production model.  TYCO's original Pepsi scheme with the large blue area opposite the Pepsi logo containing the slogan, "It's Got A Lot To Give" is not known to exist beyond this prototype example.  The production run 62-foot Box Car lettered for Pepsi is solid white without the slogan.

Uncataloged, TYCO did produce a 62-foot Box Car decorated for Tropicana with a green roof and ends and white sides carrying FEC reporting marks and car number 254331.  The car was included originally in a promotional train set offering in the mid-1970s.

TYCO's 62-foot Box Car, model No.361, is similar to the Express Reefer, model No.360. In fact, close inspection shows that the six 62-foot Box Cars from the 1974-75 catalog are actually Express Reefer models. The 1975-76 catalog corrects this mistake displaying a 62-foot double insulated plug door box car that is different in design from the 62-foot Express Reefer. The car is first offered at $2.50 retail and remains in TYCO's line into the mid-1980s.
