Train Sets
 
Select from the various years listed to the left to review the train sets offered by TYCO.
 
When reviewing TYCO's train set offerings, one notices that often a train set name will return across a number of years.  Pay special attention however to TYCO's stock numbers and the set's contents each year.  Quite often, TYCO would make minor alterations in the contents of a train set even though it might carry the same name. 
 
It should also be noted that this information is exclusive to TYCO's annual product catalog listings.  As one might expect, TYCO did produce some specialty and/or promotional train sets that did not appear in a catalog.  Additionally, train sets from past years often might still be found years after an appearance in a catalog for various reasons.  Therefore, the listings here should be considered nothing more than a survey of what TYCO included in its product catalogs each year.
 
This section of The TYCO Trains Collector's Resource was launched in August 2005.  The section will eventually cover all years for The Brown Box Era of TYCO HO-scale Electric Trains 1970-1993.
TYCO Burlington Northern uncataloged set
An example of an uncataloged TYCO offering is found in the aboved pictured #7644 train set.  Not only does TYCO not list a 7644 among its trains set in the catalogs reviewed for this site, but among the contents of this set the Burlington Northern Alco Century 430 is also an uncatalog example itself.  From the look of the packaging and the freight cars included, a good guess would be that this set was available in the mid- to late-'70s.
