Piggyback Flat Car Set -Santa Fe
(No.348)
(1971-1977)
Introduced in the 1968-69 catalog, the Piggyback Flat Car Set featured
a 50' Flat Car with two trailers and the truck terminal base and a truck cab.
The set shown originally has different
markings for its Santa Fe piggybacks. By 1970-71's catalog, TYCO was displaying the set shown above. The 1970-71 catalog shows
the set at $5.00. It was $4.98 in the 1968-69 listing. This set is found separately and was included in train sets on many
occasions. The 1977 catalog has the set in Santa Fe with the item number-348 for a final time with a retail of $6.00.
Truck Cab and Trailer Set
(Santa Fe)
(No.124)
Found as a separate item in early 1970s TYCO catalogs is the Truck Cab
and Trailer Set. The example seen above features TYCO's original now older sytle Truck Cab. As a separately
available item the Truck Cab and Trailer Set disappears from catalogs by the mid-'70s, however boxed examples with either
the Truck Cab seen above or the newer model and a Trailer remain in many train sets and even turn up in the Bubble Yum promotional
train set in the 1980s.
