Hello all--I'm a Tyco collector new to the board. At a train show this weekend (Ft. Worth, Tx), I picked up a NIB Tyco wood reefer. It was yellow and painted for Budweiser bottled beer. I've never seen one of these before, maybe because is looks to be late in Tyco's line (I have earlier stuff). Also, the box is labeled 'Tyco Canada'. Can anyone give me some more info on what I have? Thanks, Chris.

Hey Chris. Is this what you have:
http://tycotrain.tripod.com/freightcars/id29.html
Tyco used to have a warehouse or something in Toronto. Not totally sure what they did there, but I'm guessing they packaged some of their products. I have a couple of building kits in the Tyco Canada boxes. Only big difference I can see on the box is the french writing. So, if your box says Tyco Canada on it, it probably means that your car passed through Toronto on its way to wherever it was going.
