Looking to buy these lit Tyco cabooses. I noticed a Pennsy and B&O variations. Any year on productions or other information is appreciated.

Pretty neat pieces. I've not seen the B&O variant.
I came across a baby blue SP Piggy Back Service
caboose this past week, when I get home I'll add
a photo of it. Needs some small repair, but unique
just the same. There is no maker's mark on it.

I'm not sure of the era/age they were produced, but it LOOKS like that is all 3 of the early lighted metal-chassis Mantua variations produced. I have the B&O and the Pennsylvania, I do not yet have a UP version myself. The B&O was a recent Timonium, MD show find in the spring. I believe these are all Red Box era cabooses. Nice lot! Get all 3 vari's at once.  I think the CN is another hard to find Tyco caboose, too. Even if not lit. Would be a good haul there. < added some minutes later > Oh, I Googled Tyco lighted caboose, and now I found an AT&SF variation. Looks original. So that's 4 different ones so far.
