Well, here's my only Tyco box. It's a Switcher Freight set from 1982, and I'm sure this box is more common than a dirty penny.
However, I do have a couple of beat up Marx O scale boxes as well.
It's a little bit disappointing that all three of these sets were only half-complete by the time I got them.

Here is my entry into the Tyco/Mantua box art. The track came loose inside the box so a few peices are in the way. One of the only reasons I bought this set was due to the art on it

Ok, I fixed it Microbus. Sometimes my pictures work fine and sometimes they dont. This is the only set I have and its SIB. Its always been hard for me to collect sets because they are an awkward size and it makes them harder to store.

The first box is what this Durango GP came in this weekend. I think the truck offer was frome like '89.
The second pic is the first Athearn boxes I've seen with yellow sides, also from this weekends' show.

Here's the only interesting box I've got:
It was a last minute throw-in to a box of "junk" I got on ebay. It's an all metal kit, which I know nothing about. The box and parts envelope are labeled for Gulf, Mobile, and Ohio but the sides are actually decorated for CP.
What do you guys think? Keep it like it is, or build it? I'd have to learn how to build a metal kit. Is this an interesting find, or just new to me?
