In the june 1969 MR, there is a ad for tyco’s C430 on the inside of the front cover. It features a warbonnet C430 and 17 indentical Monon covered hoppers. The text goes like this:
“TYCO PRESENTS
THE HAPPENING OF THE CENTURY
All by itself, Tyco’s Alco Century 430 makes a worthy addition to the most elaborite pike. Here is a superbly detaled body…spray painted to perfection…highlited with properly scaled handrails of richly gleaming stainless steel. From softly illuminated numberboards and operating headlights to rear coupler Tyco’s Alco Century is an aristocrat you’ll proudly operate.”
“Gleaming handrails”?
Well, I hope that you enjoyed that as much as I did.
