Found a neat Tyco Railmaster set today.The box has been opened but doesn't look like it was ever used. Was in back room on bottom shelf of antique shop, under some newer disney and matell toys. Check it out.....
Notice the Hills Dept Store sticker.. remember Hills..
and on the inside....

Coach,
That's a nice find. Notice that the box art shows the elusive, if ever made and distributed, 1435 VGN loco and it is pictured as the Tyco 430 on the box and not the Mehano that is in the box. The Mehano is the correct engine. There is a shot of the 1435 in the Tyco Collectors resource site.
Sorry that the engineers side short handrail is damaged.
What is the number on the small Alco sticker on the left?

In the original photo posted of the box,and the photo posted by catford,do the math.
The Box Art shows 5 frieght cars.
The photo on the box only shows 4, And there is only four freight cars in the box window itself. Not counting the caboose.
Not a bad deal anyways, looks like you still got a few extra freight cars in the deal!
Alcofan pointed out the loco numbers on the box, did Tyco do the same thing on the loco itself?
