The New Age of COX catalog was the company's 1977
product listings. It appears this new age was not to favor HO-scale model trains to the extent they enjoyed in previous
years.
The 1977 COX catalog contains 64 pages and HO-scale model trains take up pages 52-59. Five train
sets are featured, followed by a pair of pages covering the Big Pine Lumber and Dockside accessories. Finally, the last
two pages display a very limited selection of rolling stock and even more limited locomotive selection. The Championship
Train GP-9 is the only locomotive shown as a separately sold item in 1977.
To my knowlege, this is the final COX catalog in America to feature HO-scale model trains. The
line does surface again in 1978 and '79 in the Canadian Leisure Dynamics catalogs.
