Archer Transfer 3D resin rivets (the company recommends O-scale rivets for A.C.G. products)

The #24029 was produced from 1958 through 1961 in three variations. The first two variations both have sintered-iron trucks and knuckle couplers. The first variation, as shown in the photo, is painted over a black body and has door guides that are attached to the body via rivets. The second variation is painted over an orange painted black body with door guides that are attached with rivets. The third variation, produced in 1961, has Pike-Master trucks and couplers with door guides that are attached with metal tabs.

"The Katy" box car was produced in 1958 only and in just the one variation. This is a very rare car, because it was produced in 1958 only, offered in only two higher-priced sets, and as a separate sale item in a year in which Gilbert dropped the production of many items early in the year due to the poor economic conditions.
