Notes:

SHS #02067, road number 2010, was a special run done for the Baltimore Area American Flyer club. SHS #02068, road number 1881, was a regular SHS product run car.

This S-Helper Service concept art is somewhat confusing. Its road numbers and the body color match those of the cars produced as SHS #01731 and #01732. However, the advertised beer herald is the one that was used on this entry's cars; the other cars have a different beer advertised.
