BroadwayLTD posted:Putnam Division posted:From the Schmid book.......A promotional outfit from 1961. Made for the Brown Foreman Distillers Corp. Only 160 made and very rare.
2 unique items:
1. only outfit in 1961 to include a 45 watt transformer with direction control.
2. the only General set to have a separate caboose.
Can we see some pictures? There are none in the Schmid book.

Peter-
Unlike the documentation that you found, the transformer in this set is a 40W #1014 and does not have a directional controller. I believe this set, which was one 'ownered' by my brother in law's father, to be completely as purchased. I suspect that since there were so few of these sets they may have used transformers that were available at the time the sets were assembled. Being primarily a Marx collector/operator, I've gotten rather used to 'variations'....

Agree totally with your premise.
The pictures are a treasure. That is quite a set!
