Notes:

The #25082 was produced from 1961 through 1964 and has two major variations. The first variation has an orange painted body mounted on an unmodified type III frame and lacks the Hayjector mechanism. The second major variation has an orange painted body. Within this variation, the lettering is (the most-common) white or (the rare) gray. In 1961, the #25082 that was sold separately, came with two track trips; one for new Pike-Master track and a second trip to be used with the older style track (see the second and third photos).

The common white lettering is shown in the background. The rare gray lettering is shown in the foreground.
