Notes:
The Buffalo Hunt gondola and the Freight Ahead caboose are the only two cars produced by Gilbert that did not have a catalog number. The Buffalo Hunt gondola was produced in 1963 only in only one variation. This unusual gondola was not sold separately and was offered only as part of the 1963 #20800 Game Train set.
