Possibly from some sort of special edition set, maybe?That's all I've got.

I believe it is in poor taste to point out missing cars or trying to better Mr. Cook's website. Tony has done a great job and probably doesn't have time to perfect it to every degree...
It's like me going on the Chip Foose website and telling him how to design & restore cars! 
That's just my opinion, I could be wrong...

Oh, it never hurts to point out to a chef that a little more flavor here or there may help.  Ben just wants his 15 seconds of fame. Maybe Tony doesn't have time to update his website , they can be quite time-consuming to do. But if there are other special cars out there, I'm sure he can update it (someday ).

Seriously? Ben's not trying to tell Tony how to format the site, just asking for those cars not included. Tony knows very well that he doesn't have everything, especially when there were dozens of obscure promotional items like these (I think he's still looking for good pics of the AHM - Rivarossi faux brass locos that were offered in the 60's). Larry at HO Seeker cast a wide net for contributions of all the literature he was missing.
Personally I don't care about a Welch's 40' box car, but for those that do this could fill in the gaps.
That reminds me: my LHS recently had the rolling stock from some promotional Bachmann set on consignment, and we were joking about the Q-tip gondolas, so the owner loaded them with Q-tips. He ended up selling them that way for a little extra to to a guy who wouldn't take no for an answer.

I only remember that the caboose had the Gerber baby on it. It had to be a pretty recent set, since the cars had screw mounted trucks and body mounted knuckle couplers like their modern standard line. Nicely weighted, too. It was sold piecemeal secondhand, and the engine wasn't there.
