Notes:
This model was introduced in 1957 in only one variation. In the 1957 catalog on page 18, the #935 is listed as #24619 however, #935 was shown on the side of the car. Secondly, the catalog illustration also shows the lettering and grab irons on the car in white, while in fact #935 has yellow lettering and grab irons. The #935 was the first post-war caboose not to have either white or silver lettering.
