Freight Train Sets pulled by the #283 C&NW Pacific Locomotive
	There were nine different freight sets pulled by the #283 C&NW Pacific engine that Gilbert sold under seventeen different stock numbers between 1954 and 1957.  Three came with 220V transformers for export.  Most never appeared in a Gilbert catalog.
		The #113 train sold in 1955 contains a #923 IC reefer, #931 gondola, #925 tank car, and #938 caboose. The set also includes 20 #702 curved track, 6 #700 straight track, a #690 track terminal, 704 manual uncoupler, #1-1/2 50-watt transformer, and #747 Figure-8 Cardboard Trestle set. This is one of the sets Gilbert created to reduce their inventory of unsold 1954 products.
		The #127 train sold in 1955 contains a #974 AFL Operating Boxcar, #921 hopper, #925 tank car, and #938 caboose.  (My 734 Operating Boxcar is standing in for the 974 until I get one.)  The set also includes 12 #702 curved track, 2 #700 straight track, a #690 track terminal, 704 manual uncoupler, #1-1/2 50-watt transformer, #799 Talking Station, and #K775 Baggage Loading Platform.
