Hello, The only two items Lionel ever put in the "blue" boxes are the two you mentioned. The 1996 Toy Fair car and th eDwarf Signal. The LITTLE rialroad club is coming out with a commemorative car that is also supposed to be in a similar "reverse color scheme".

Thanks for all of your help I was not aware that the ambassador cars were in a blue box They are rare only have seen one that was not in a box. I have a feeling lionel will eventually go to the blus box
