Original selling price: $20.00

Chauncey's Choo-Choo is the 3rd piece in the train series. The photo on the box and in the 1997 and 1998 catalogs shows bars across both wheels, no connection bar in the front or back of the car and Chauncey's tail points straight out.
On page 23 in the 1997 book it appears the wheels where covered with snow to hide the bars during the photo shoot. The picture was later changed in the 1999 book showing no bars on the wheels, Chauncey's tail upwards and connection bars on both ends of the car.
The upper right photo is the prototype for Chauncey's Choo-Choo Ride.
