American. Pre-war. Standard gauge. This is the one set that all Flyer collector's covet and in the condition that you all have been waiting for. Cars with "Flying Colonel" plates and locomotive with "The Ace" plate. Includes no. 4686 locomotive with original flags, no. 4381 pullman, no. 4380 Madison club car, and no. 4382 Hancock observation car. Beautiful cobalt blue color and all brass parts are nice and shiny. This set is complete and 100% original coming from its original estate. Original set box is in like-new condition with all wrapping materials, inserts, original mail bag pick-up, no. 4100 remote control switch, set-up manual, and transformer manual. Individual boxes are in like-new condition as well. Words cannot describe this breathtaking set. Just slightly dirty but will surely clean to like-new or like-new plus condition. In our opinion this is, by far, the finest known example.
