Picked up my final Rio Grande piece today (F7) and now I can concentrate on looking for a Northern Pacific shark!

Very nice collection! They all appear to be minty which really makes the set impressive. Out of curiousity, why these six pieces? Tyco made a few other cars in Rio Grande, did they not? They look great regardless!

| Cheez, yes if I am not mistaken they made a 0-4-0 shifter (which went with the caboose), a 4-8-4, and of course the passenger cars.

4-8-4 TYCO? There was NEVER a TYCO 4-8-4 ever made!!!!!That may be a Bachmann model you speak of!

I think GG1 meant a 4-8-0. I don't remember if the 4-8-0 was Tyco or Mantua though.

| I have the Rio Grande Shifter here. I've only ever seen the one. Been meaning to find another caboose to go with it.

| The GP-20 is not that easy to find. Definitely one of the tougher Tyco Red Box pieces too find. The Rio Grande passenger car set is hard too find also.

It may not be Tyco but it's my Rio Grande stuff and I wanted to show it to you guys.
