Hi: Got my first AF 312 set with log loader for Christmas, 1948 from Goodrich Auto Store in Portchester, NY, just on the CT border near Byram and Greenwich, CT. It did not have the girder car as listed for the 4619A set, but rather came with a boxcar (B&O) (+ additional gulf oil tank car, mail pickup car, manoil coupe unloading car - although this was supposed to have come out in 1949, etc.) so it was a "store modification" with additions.
