TYCO sold a pair of cannons (No.852) for forty-nine cents beginning the same year the Blue and Gray Centennial Sets were added to the product line.  Both Civil War train sets included their own pair of cannons.  Certainly the perfect addition to your pike to help deal with the pesky Rivet-Counters.

Though some critics may jokingly refer to many TYCO items as nothing more than a box of rocks, this accessory entry is just that.  New in the 1961 catalog, Coal Load (No.839) is a bag of black ballast material selling for forty-nine cents.

A new item according to the 1960 TYCO Catalog was the I Beam Girder sold as Flat Car Load (No.T840).  Designed to ride most likely in the 40' Gondola or Flat Car, this yellow beam sold for thirty-nine cents when first offered in 1960.

A new item in TYCO's '61 product line, but carrying the same stock number as 1960's I-Beam Girder Flat Car Load is Plate Girder w/Skids Flat Car Load (No.840).  It retails for forty-nine cents in the 1961 catalog.  The Skids (No.851) were also packed together in a half dozen as a separate TYCO  item.

Destined to be among the TYCO line for many years to come was the set of three 8' Culvert Pipe sections.  During the Red Box Era they could be purchased as a separate item, T831, selling for just thirty-nine cents in 1960.

Serving to light up the TYCO line for many years, the Operating Floodlight Car (No.320) was available from the beginning of the '60s.  The Pennsylvania Railroad example (No.320B) stayed to join the BN and later Durango offerings in the Brown Box Era.  TYCO also produced this item in Union Pacific (No.320A) and Reading (No.320C).  In 1960, the Floodlight Car carried a $4.98 retail.

A forerunner to the Automatic Coal Unloading Trestle (No.861) was this simple plastic strip.  TYCO sold this item as Gate Actuator w/9" Track Section (No.15735) for seventy-five cents or you could purchase just the white Gate Actuator (No.5736) alone for forty-nine cents. 

Consisting of fourteen graduating sized conrete appearing piers and a flat bridge bed section, this was TYCO's original Bridge & Trestle Set.  In 1960, this item carried stock number T843 and sold for $3.95.

 

An interesting accessory is this thin strip of black plastic.  The Portable Rerailer (No.5667) is essentially the same as what is found on a 9" Re-Railer Track (No.15723) section.  This accessory simply allowed it to be placed on any straight section of track.  The retail was forty-nine cents in 1961.

New to the 1961 catalog is this collection of six plastic cast supports to brace loads in place on flat cars.  The Skids (No.851) were also sold in pairs under the Plate Girder as an accessory item (No.840).  The half dozen Skids sold for forty-nine cents beginning in the 1961 TYCO catalog.

According to the TYCO 1960 Catalog, this pilot mounted Snow Plow (No.T832) was designed for use with TYCO's T209, T213 and T217 locos and sold for forty-nine cents.  The T209 was the Shifter 0-4-0 Steamer, while T213 was TYCO's Booster 0-4-0 Steamer.  There is no T217 loco found during the Red Box Era, but it was TYCO's Side Tank 0-6-0 Steamer sold during the 1950's.

Made to fit the TYCO 40' Flat Car, this accessory item consisted of a set of four panels and carried stock number T833 and sold for thirty-nine cents in 1960.

A very simple arch designed Stone Bridge was featured among TYCO's Accessories during the Red Box Era.  Carrying stock number T808 was the single track four-legged straight bridge.  In 1960, the item retailed for sixty-nine cents.

TYCO's little bone-shaped plastic item had a very big stock number in relation to its size, 15729.  As cars passed over it going slowly, the Ramp would guide the points pointing downward on an X2F coupler to open and thus uncouple.  TYCO included the Ramp's NMRA approval in its description and it retailed for forty-nine cents.  This item was often part of the contents of numerous train sets over the years.
