Beginning with the 1968-69 catalog and continuing with the 1969-70 and 1970-71 catalogs, TYCO no longer lists individual roadnames
for its diesels.
Retail Price in 1961, 1962-63, and 1963-64 was $8.98 for the Powered "B"-unit. The retail
price goes up by one dollar to $9.98 for the R-T-R F-9B in the 1964-65 catalog. It is back to $8.98 for the 1965-66 catalog.
The retail returns to $9.98, suggesting a mistake in the previous catalog, for the 1966-67 catalog. Retail price is $10.98
in the 1967-68 catalog. The Powered F-9B is not listed in the 1968-69, 1969-70, and 1970-71 catalogs.
