when I seen the mentioned auction, I noticed seeing the Seatrain piggyback that I believe was never produced by Tyco. If I am correct, the Seatrain was a Container flat car product. I asked the seller if the Seatrain truck had the rear step bumper and he/she said it didn't.
Maybe someone can add something here??

Hi Walt. You are correct. Could not find anything on a Seatrain Piggyback. Only the 352A Container Car. While I was looking, I found the one I have.  Carl

I believe that's what has been done coach. I think the containers are very similar to the piggyback trailer top piece.
Nice container flat VintageHO !

The containers of the container car are Trailers with the rear step and Floor Removed.
So.. Walt. I know your Hoping that there is a Possibility of there being a Seatrain or Sealand Piggyback. So Just for you... Here is what a Seatrain would Look like If there had been one Offered.
Now we have to find Two Bubble Yum Trailers with the rear step removed, so we can make a Bubble Yum Container Car..  Carl

No, actually I was not hoping there was a Seatrain piggy avalible. I've been on ebay buying trains for 10 years and IF there was a Seatrain piggy by Tyco. I would have known about it before now. Plus the Tyco website...
Note in my first thread comment that I mentioned the back step bumper being removed and it was a container truck body.
However, there is a SEALAND piggyback train by Tyco..... 
NO Micro-Ben, The was no Bekins container car.

Hi Ben. I was wondering if anyone else would see it.. I thought the same thing the way the Rib seperates the Lettering.. It makes it look like: Seat Rain....
Seat Rain.. It is what you get when there is water on the outdoor Chair..?? Carl

Walt, I went down to my Parts Storage to look for something for Ben and I found all the parts to a Sea Land Container Flat. Notice anything different from the Piggy Flat.. Carl

Yes I do Carl, The insignia between the Sea & land is reversed in colors..... I have a Sealand container flat but it's at my X wife house in storage.
Funny Carl, I too, am boxing up an item for Micro-Ben!

CNVIATyco- I have 14 of the white Santa Fe trailer and would you know I'm not sure if there are any of the variance logos in the bunch... I have noticed that a few of my silver Santa Fe trailers have the different logo... If you have one or two ya want to sell i'd probably buy them from you... That's just the kinda guy I am...
