During The Brown Box Era of 1971-1993, The 1890 Loco and Tender, #233, appears in TYCO catalogs from 1971-72 through the 1979 edition. The only roadname available for this loco, from what is shown in catalogs, is Santa Fe.

In the 1971-72, 1972-73, and 1973-74 catalog, the 1890 Loco is priced at $20 for the ready-to-run version. A kit version, #7706, is priced at $15. For the 1974-75 catalog, TYCO raises the price to $25. In 1975-76, the 1890 Loco is up to $27 for the fully constructed version and the kit is then priced at $19. 1976 finds this steamer at $32, while the kit is no longer listed in the catalog. For 1977, the price is up to $37.

The 1890 loco is also found in the '78 catalog and one last time in the 1979 catalog, TYCO does not provide price information those years.
