Notes:

Produced from 1961 through 1965, in two variations. The first variation, which is not very common, has sintered-iron trucks and knuckle couplers. This variation may have been an early 1961 model as Gilbert may have been attempting to use old stock of sintered-iron trucks and couplers since 1961 was the first year of the new Pike-Master line. The second variation is the most common that has as Pike-Master trucks and couplers.
