Notes:

SHS #02067, road number 2010, was a special run done for the Baltimore Area American Flyer club. SHS #02068, road number 1881, was a regular SHS product run car.

This S-Helper Service concept art is somewhat confusing. Its road numbers and the body color match those of the cars produced as SHS #01731 and #01732. However, the advertised beer herald is the one that was used on this entry's cars; the other cars have a different beer advertised.

There are slight variations between these cars produced, so using this you can tell which car is which (if they have been removed from their original boxes):
#3186, SHS #00493, sold stand-alone: green ladder, brown brakewheel, white reporting marks on ends.
#3759, SHS #00494, sold stand-alone, green ladder, brown brakewheel, white reporting marks on ends.
#4623, SHS #00684 (set) black ladder, green brakewheel, yellow reporting marks.
#3186, SHS #00684 (set) black ladder, green brakewheel, yellow reporting marks.
#3759, SHS #00684 (set) black ladder, green brakewheel, yellow reporting marks.
The set #00684 was released in 2001.

If you want additional road numbers, check out the Hoquat Hobbies run that SHS did, SHS #01607 and SHS #01608.

Of course, the road numbers are different, so that is how you can identify between the two runs.
