I've seen 1 or 2 other Tyco short flatcars with rare names on them, like this one, not too long ago on Ebay...I believe they date back to the very early "Red Box Era" or "Blue Box Era" and would have had the reddish/orange pipe load (I think.) Very cool.

| The flat car is part of the Stewarts Grocery Set. Tyco offered seven different grocery store sets in 1963. The other set are Unity, Giant Open Air Market, Genuardi / Martels, Thirtway, Montco and Richfoods.

| To clarify, there are seven promotional wood sided reefers. There are only three promotional skid flat cars. They are Frankford Quaker, Richfoods and Stewart Enterprises. The other sets contain the cataloged black Southern skid flat car.
