Box Car Penn Central
No. 311-X -1970
Release
TYCO includes the Penn Central example in the 1975-76 product catalog among Box Cars offerings, however its availability
is beyond just this single year. The first appearance in a catalog appears to be the 1970-71 edition, where you'll find
the 40' Penn Central Box Car displayed in train sets. Above are two examples of the car, showing its production included
both open step and filled-in step examples.
 
Box Car Santa Fe
No. 311-U
TYCO's Santa Fe 40' Box Car release pre-dates the '70s Brown Box Era. The earliest catalog appearance I find
for this red and black box car is the 1963-64 TYCO catalog. Given the length of time this model was available in the
TYCO line, there are numerous variations to both paint and lettering, as well as the tooling.
