At a time when the train line was shrinking, TYCO introduces
a very popular line of HO-scale buildings. This 'Contemporary Series' set of kits was first seen in 1986 with Pizza Hut, Burger
King, 7-Eleven, and 7UP Plant. The 1987 TYCO catalog adds Baskin Robbins.
The Baskin Robbins and 7-Eleven releases
appear to share the same basic construction elements, though the other kits are all unique. To date no examples of TYCO's
7-Eleven kit have been observed and it is thought to not exist. TYCO's 7-Eleven kit is only cataloged in 1986.
The "B" suffix added to these kit numbers represents an
example that included a lighting kit. In addition to the letter added to the stock number, offerings that had the lighting
kit included a mention of such on the package face.
By 1990, these kits are no longer listed in TYCO's catalogs. Collectors simply looking for these
buildings can also obtain them from AHM's offering, see note at bottom of this page.
