I noticed the graphics are different in several places. Under the B in Boraxo the words are aranged differently and on the top right edge next to the can image and others. Interesting, and Tyco too?

Good catch AF, I've had both of those for a while too. The Jello one has similar variants. Haven't found any others yet.
Here's a couple more in the same vein:


Roadnumber fonts are different too.

AF, you should convert one of those Boraxo cars to a track cleaner.

Nice! I'll have to look for those, I'm trying to build an automobile-related train consist. Haven't seen many of these flats, if any, in my years of looking.

Was the load also by AHM? I had some Athearn flats I did up awhile back that were 40 footers just like the one shown and I used auto frames put out by a company that advertised in the Walthers book. They also were really popular for making lumber loads for center beam flats and such but I cant remember the name of the company to save my life(must have been all that pot I smoked in high school). They were fairly cheap too with a nice result.
Did some reasearch and heres the company. I didnt look to see if they were still offered or were in stock.
