Any one know if these are Tyco's or not. I don't think they are?

Hey Romcat...

Look at the foot stirrups... the two end cars are solid, the middle car is hollow...

At first glance, they seem to be Model Power with the black upper door sills, but Model Power has moulded in hand brakes...
They are not Tyco Red Box Era cars.
I would almost say they look like COX cars.

It may be just novelty to own three of them... one slightly different.

Anybody else? (Tony knows his Tycos.)

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.
"I love your catenary!"
Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?

They are most definitely Tyco. I sold one a while back, MIB. The 40' boxcar also had the open and filled stirrup variations.

Up close, the tiny brakewheel hole and metal door tracks are a dead giveaway for Tyco - as if the poor placement of the CP logo wasn't enough.

Road# should be 56767 - same as the green many of the blue 50' versions.
