Thanks for the info    The Loco might have been some leftover 665's possibly not enough leftover or enough orders. I found before today a seperate sale sheet from sixties indicating the 665 wa available for seperate sale it was dated 1967

At any rate this proves something I saw in the catalogs  "All product designs in this catalog are subject to change without notice' or something to that effect.

Also was that the ZW of 1991?

1970 set #1087 "Midnight Express" with the Penn Central satellite car is explained here.

How about that ZW at the top of the page? Click the picture for an enlarged view.

I remember it well.

As with many of the items depicted in this catalog, it was never made.

in the catalog it should give a stock number most likely starts with 6- and then 4 or 5 numbers after that. that will help so we can give you more info.
