Notes:

This was an uncataloged item. The #957 has only one variation. The one odd feature about the #957 is that the control button has "957" imprinted on it and as such is the only car that has the catalog number imprinted on the control button making this a unique item. In 1958, the #957 was replaced with the #25042. The car came with four metal barrels.
