| Microbus, Those are the same ones I received in my Tyco GG1 set. I have the Coach, Combine and Observation. Do you know if there are any others made by Tyco? Hopping for a RPO but have not seen one.

 MKT standard caboose in its original package. I've ran it a few times since I got it a few years ago.

Here's an interesting promo I snagged a week ago. Funny thing, I was thinking to myself "Hmm, all these freight and automotive-themed cars I have, but not a single flat with (or separate) auto chassis load."
Then BAM - a seller I was buying from anyway just listed this out of the blue with a reasonable buy-it-now. I'd never seen this before. It's a Model Power (former Marx tooling? Has Marx-style trucks, but I didn't know they made any 50' cars. Looks otherwise like an Athearn flat)

I have something similar to this in a re-tagged Athearn box, not Bev-bel, but another offshoot like that, just had 80 auto frames, no flat car. I've been trying to figure out what flat car would work with them. Also interested in buying MORE of the auto frames, but this may have been a low-production run. Do you think Model Power made the auto frames, too? I like....

Am I correct in saying there is also a "Tavern" car in the Tyco Santa Fe passenger cars?

Tyco put several different labels on the sides of their cars, but they're all the same three body styles. Here's my lone Santa Fe car:

Wow that auto frame flat is really neat. It is ashame they just closed down the plant for good in Reading. They used to have a small crew still making corvette frames but that ended also.

Mine is an Athearn Refrigerator ATSF. I got this from a friend he found in his basement. I cant believe someone wrote the date they built it. April 1, 1964. the original price was $1.38 still runs like a charm and looks good to.

Hi Brianstyco,
I agree, Krispy Kreme is the best. I grew up with them down south. Who made this car?
Thanks
Mike

Yes, the Santa Fe combine car bears the name "Tavern". I have it, along with the observation, and the other two SF cars. I also have the New Haven cars as well.
