Notes:
In 1957 #25007 was actually car #919 in a box marked "25007", because it was right in the middle of the transition era of A.C. Gilbert switching to their 5-digit numbering system. If the car was sold in a set, then it was marked as "25008". They did switch to the newer version of the #712 Automatic Track Rail that actually triggers the car's animation, for this release.
