Dan, nice to see your material here. Had I known then what I do now, there would have been more material like this in my slide boxes when the Rock was fading in Silvis.
 
I remember my first TYCO train set containing a hi-cube boxcar with the big R printed on the side. That, and the Texaco tanker really stood out.
