#24565 FY&PRR Flatcar with cannon made in 1960-1961. (Photo courtesy of Wayne King from one of his ebay auctions.)

Disassembled, you can see the end pieces (often missing in auction cars) notched to fit into the sides. (Photo courtesy of Wayne King from one of his ebay auctions.)

Here's how to tell the original cannon from a reproduction: "Made in Japan" is molded into the underside. In addition, the original fires tiny projectiles. (Photo courtesy of Wayne King from one of his ebay auctions.)

#24055 Gold Belt 55 Boxcar made in 1960-1961 with both Knuckle and Pike Master couplers. It's a little hard to see in this picture, but there is a non-operating door molded into the plastic.

It was also made without that door.

Unlike most American Flyer cars, the other side isn't the same.

#24750 FY&PRR Combination Car made in 1960 & 1961.  It was painted plastic. Though a passenger car, it was sold only in the #20655 Frontiersman Freight set. (Photo courtesy of an anonymous donor.)
