I just picked up this set from a dealer here is Indy. The front of the box is clear taped over the celophane area to hold the train in but the cars are correct. I don't know if it works, not tested yet.

Some Purina Cat and Dog boxcars are available separate. Here's a picture of the two I bought off Ebay awhile back. They run about $10-20 apiece, depending on your auction luck.

I've got at least 20+ Purina cars of various types, from Boxcars to open and closed hoppers. But only the two that specifically have Cat and Dog Chow on them. I've run my purina train before at my club show. Here's a picture of the Purina set I saved off Ebay awhile back,closer view -

I don't have the set, but I do have the cat and dog boxcars....come to think of it, I may have the ATSF caboose, and maybe even a Bachmann Santa Fe engine.

Well, if you see them (er, make that just the Cat CHow boxcar) at the show for $10 or less, I'll take a couple! Add them to my wish list. The other guy can have dibs first since I have a pair, but I will DEFINITELY pay if you get any. I'm good for it.

I got four Bachmann Gravy Train box cars, mint in box. Let them all go for $50. I had them on Ebay for the longest time and no one interested...Really nice and all, but doesn't fit my overall Tyco trend.
Might say I was going through a Gravy Train phase at the time. Along the way I snagged this promo set, more Tycoish than Bachmannish.
