Great pieces. Check this out, RP, if you haven't already:
Johnson Wax Train Set
(No.7617Q)
Johnson Wax Promotional Shark Nose
Johnson Wax Set
This TYCO promotional set was offered in the early/mid 1980s. Differing from most examples of promo sets, this one has all unqiue items.
The set featured the Shark Nose painted in Santa Fe's red-and-silver Passenger Warbonnet scheme with the Johnson Wax logo. The TYCO Santa Fe Shark Nose is found only in the 1982 product catalog and one assumes the Johnson Wax Shark could have been produced about the same time.
Three box cars are included, all are TYCO's standard 50' Box Car model, each featuring different Johnson Wax products One car is solid blue with a light blue Glade logo and Clean'n'Clear lettering; another is solid white and features red outline images of various products and the slogan, "Clean Up with Johnson Wax." The white box car may carry the Shout product logo on its reverse side or perhaps there are two different white cars available for this set. Both have been seen. Another car is solid yellow and carries the Future and Lemon Pledge logos.
The caboose is lettered for Johnson Wax and it is the really unique item in this set. Look closely at this caboose and you'll see that it is not a style regularly available from TYCO. TYCO offered the Streamline Caboose and the Wide-Vision Caboose in its regular line, but this caboose resembles one offered by Life-Like. I have no information regarding why a more typical caboose from TYCO's line wasn't included. It does however add to the curiousity and interest in this promotional set.
Clean Up With Johnson Wax Box Car
Possibly the other side of the SHOUT Box Car seen above, this car features the slogan "Clean Up With Johnson Wax" and might suggest that there are at least two different white 50' Plug Doors produced for this set.
Johnson Wax set Caboose
Unique to both the Johnson Wax promo set and the TYCO line in general is this "New England" style Caboose.

It was pulled from "Tyco Sets" in this Forum.
Here's my offering, with a little help from my major trading partner, RP Model Railroads,
one BN is a brush paint job, only then did I learn that Tyco made a BN Shark, and
RP traded me the shell, which is going to replace the Midnight Special. The NOS
Model Power Chassis were milled down to accept the slightly smaller Tyco shells, by
Wildecoupe. This double header otta do it:
The PT motor of Tyco infamy were entirely unsuitable for pulling this consist:

Sean, any chance you have the literature for the Red Ball C-Liners?
I have the powered chassis for two , but no shells.
Any idea what size of screw is used on the gear towers?
I'm missing a few of them.

Sorry Evan,
I do not have any paperwork on them. Did you check HOSeeker? There might be something posted there. I do not know the screw size, but I might be able to figure it out.

Definitely smaller than 2-56.
I'm going to guess it's metric.
HO Seeker only has a pic in a catalogue.
Sigh.
First world problems.
