They can be a little tougher to find as compared to a green BN Tyco plugger... but i think they were a stand alone item, not like the Lionel Sears boxcar which was part of a set. I have two of those flatcar and trailer combos. Neither set me back more than any old second hander.

I have two Tyco Coke box cars. I bought a very nice boxed one years ago, and a friend sent me one for Christmas years ago with KD couplers....

I tried Kadee's years ago, trying to keep up with the Joneses. What a hassle. Spent more time
chasing springs and adjusting couplers than I did running trains. I've seen people with the
skills of a watch maker get them to be reliable, but it wasn't for me. My bud, Crusty, had a
little trouble, too:

Determined to the end, he makes fun of my horn hooks every chance he gets- while my trains
would be doing circles around his.

Such a neat piece, Frank. I'd wager that line
was up and running when this vintage piece
was made.
