Pushing the limits of the definition of "set" a wee bit, but here is a "set" of Tyco
New Haven Boxcars. For video action, see "Snow Birds" under Loose Ends and
click on link.

Yes, it was done about 1987ish by a large animal veterinarian,
"Doc" Harris, now passed on. His work is enduring.

You guys are not going to believe this. I got a Mantua Bonus Pak set at my local hobby shop for about $50 today. It's in great shape and the engine runs pretty good considering that it was in the package for quite a few years. It obviously needs some cleaning though which I will get to at some point.
I know I've said this a bzillion times but I apologize for the blurry picture.

Thank you!It ran horribly when I first got it. When I gave it a bit of oil, it ran like a charm.I don't have grease at the moment but I will soon though. Once I add grease to it, I can almost guarantee you that the engine will run as good as it did in the 80's.

This is an update on the Mantua Rio Grande 4-6-0 that I got yesterday. I found that the bonus pack that it came in was only made in 1985 according to Tony Cook's website. All credit goes to him.The fact that it was only made in 1985 is probably why I can't find them online no matter what keywords I put in.
