how about a few from the LAST Montgomery Ward Xmas 1985 catalog?
Starting with Transformers train set & do want one but I only have the boxcar 


Life-Like & Tyco

 I actually have the MW boxcar in here & the green MW cattle car but not the yellow one on the B&O Old Time tea Kettle loco when I got this catalog I didn't know either car were MW exclusives

At this point it might be easier to keep track of what you don't want!
Also, the front wheelset of the Mobilgas tank car is derailed in the photo for the B&O tea kettle set, guess no one noticed before publishing it!

Seriously, like many Tyco was my entrance into this hobby that brought decades of pleasant distraction. However, Tyco and worse the PT motor was a nail in its own coffin. It is a wonder that these products didn't drive entrants out of the hobby entirely.
That being said, RP Model Railroads used his extraordinary skills to get the stuff to work to a level of perfection that is amazing.

Glad to see Tyco has held its value for the last forty years! 
I found this video from RPModelModelRailroads (he is also on YouTube).
I don't know what RP is doing these days,* but I do know he is enough of a craftsman to actually get the original Tyco to run as it was presented. His success with the over-and-under was astonishing.

While I'm blathering on, annoy the heck out of the few remaining TF members, (I'm good at annoying people in general), I was getting such a kick out of old Tyco TV ads that I fixed up one on my own. The Picklemania Express.

*I do recall he had a potent interest in another Carpenter, from about 2000 years ago.
