1963-64 Train Sets

Below you'll find the train sets featured in TYCO's 1963-64 product catalog.  As was the company's practice at the time, the set's stock numbers give away the year of release.  These 1963-64 sets are numbered in the 6300-series for '63. 
 
It is important to note that the sets included here are only those found in the 1963-64 TYCO catalog.  Many department stores, such as Sears or JCPenney, often cataloged sets might be unique with respect to their contents and/or stock numbers and are not included in TYCO's annual catalog.
