Life-Like 1996 Limited Edition Department of Defense Set
Rumor has it that this set was only sold on US Military bases at the PX. Can anyone verify or debunk that please?

Here's mine - a vintage Athearn Hustler set from 1959 (set #4130). All pieces except the Hustler itself need some minor restoration but all very fixable.
