This is an uncataloged Keystone box car. It is unclear how many were made as it was not sold in any sets either cataloged or uncataloged and it was not sold as a separate item. Some believe it was made as a promotional item for the Keystone Camera Company and given away by them.

"The Katy" box car is an uncataloged car that was produced in 1960 only and has two variations, as shown in the photo. The common variation, shown in the front, has a yellow plastic body, while the much rarer variation in the background has a yellow painted body and was available only as part of the 1960 #20182 "Prestone Special" set.

The #24065 was produced from 1960 through 1964 in four variations. The first variation produced in 1960 has sintered-iron trucks and knuckle couplers. The second variation produced starting in 1961 for the remaining years has a light green plastic body and Pike-Master trucks. The third variation is painted light green over and orange body. It also has a Type II frame that was modified for a Hayjector assembly that was not installed and has Pike-Master trucks. The fourth variation, shown in the photo, is like the second except the NYC sticker is purple, whereas the normal sticker is black and white. Some believe the normal black area of the sticker turned purple because of sun exposure.
