Here is a blast from the past. This book is awesome!. I recommend you buying one especially if you grew up in the 70's and eighties as this covers all toys that were popular for each year. It does not have all of the toy pages that were in each catalog year-just the popular toys. Photo's below of the Tyco train sets are from 1974 wish book. Notice the Santa Fe alco 630 has black trucks and not the vampire trucks. Rivarossi drive. So this picture would confirm that Sears got that batch of loco's with the Rivarossi drive
