This morning has completed my Tyco Piggyback collection after buying the following True Value flat car. I will be buying NO more!! 
Most of the photos in the auction made these trailers look discolored but I believe it was just a lighting issue. Two photos has them looking crisp white. The seller claims unused but the flat car wheels look to have been run alot. Bought at a bargain in my opinion for $18.50. Wanna get one more group photo once these arrive... Would still like to buy one more "green Kenworth" to go with the collection...

UPDATE; I'm completely out of the piggyback game now. My last True Value purchase reached my mailbox on Wednesday at noon. Both trailers in excellent condition, crisp in color, one has one very minor"flea bite" of a paint error. Flat car was like new and it even come with a marked box with insert. Box was better than expected as seller had down played the box condition...
The end result is 10 of each trailer offered by Tyco with the exception of the yellow horse stock trailers that I deceided to stop at 5. I did do the 10 orange cattle stock trailers.
I've gathered 53 flat cars, enough to haul all of my 105 trailers... I have a few extra Santa Fe trailers that I will keep to custom paint if time ever permits after I finish Ben's KFC detailing before he shoots me..
