This is a mint in box set--never ran--purchased in 07. I have 2 of these sets. The set pictured has a Date of NOV 30 1983 on the UPS shipping label. All the cars are mint unused as is the loco. Lots of pictures for detail. Enjoy
Box label from TYCO

Contents--were wrapped in tissue paper that was removed for photo

The Locomotive = Mint


Mint Glade Car


Mint Shout Car--this car is unique as the other side has different graphics-see other photo below


opposite side Shout Car


Pledge Car--graphics same on both sides


Finally The Caboose--center cupola



Underside of all boxcars with TYCO Raised letters = late 60's era embossing??
