1961 | 30067 | Goodyear Special Train Set (E. Allen) | |
Remarks | This set is listed as a Goodyear store special train
set. The IBM number list has the name "E.Allen" in parenthesis
though it is unclear to me what this means. The set also
contained the Ideal Tiny Town Suburban Station and Water Tower
Accessories in Gilbert branding. While this set is noted on Maury Romer's IBM number list to be a Goodyear set, it appears to have
been sold by other retailers, at least in closeout as evidenced by a
Gimbel's ad for an apparently identical set. This set is also
unique in that it is the only set to include accessories. It
is interesting that the wiring diagram for the accessories shows
them to be wired in series. No reason is given, but it would
either be because the lighting is 6-8 volt or simply for a slightly
dimmer light in the accessories. |
