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

This car was produced from 1961 through 1964 in two variations. The most common variation, shown in the photo, has a modified type III frame with the Hayjector mechanism. The second, and least common, has an unmodified type III frame, but does not have the Hayjector mechanism. The box car may have come with the two track trips like the #25071, but there is no documentation that proves that one way or the other. When these cars were sold as part of a set, all of the sets had Pike-Master track, therefore only one trip was necessary.
