Supplemental Information

Notes:

This is a three-car set with different lettering and completely different road numbers from the stand-alone FGE cars.

Note that a three-car set SHS #00685 was announced, but, according to Don Thompson, they never actually produced it. The one car they showed of that set, road number 51237, is actually included in set SHS #00695 (see photos).

This was the photo that S-Helper Service showed on their original web site when the set SHS #00685 was announced.
