Notes:
The #24603 was illustrated in both the 1957 and 1958 catalogs. The #24603 was only produced in 1958 as very few cars were actually produced with a 5-digit number on the car in 1957. The #24603 has two variations as shown in the photos. One has solid non-operating knuckle couplers while the second has standard operating knuckle couplers.
