The 1963 Freight Ahead caboose has two variations. One variation utilizes a Type B frame while the second variation utilizes a Type D frame. The Buffalo Hunt Gondola and the Freight Ahead caboose are the only two cars produced by Gilbert that did not have a catalog number. This unusual caboose was not sold separately and was offered only as part of the 1963 #20800 Game Train set.
