THIS BEAUTIFUL SET IS RARE; ESPECIALLY WITH THE EMPIRE EXPRESS MARKINGS. FLYER HAD A WAY OF MAKING THEIR INEXPENSIVE SETS LOOK BETTER THAN THEIR MORE ADVANCED ONES, AND OFTEN THEY ARE MUCH MORE PRIZED BY COLLECTORS. THE SET OFFERED HERE IS IN EXC PLUS CONDITION, ONE OF THE BEST EVER TO HAVE BEEN UNCOVERED, AND  IT IS NICELY BOXED. THIS IS A 1929 PRODUCTION, DESIGNED AS A SUPER HIGH QUALITY YET INTRODUCTORY SET. NOTE THAT THE PASSENGER CARS HAVE ONE NUMBER (1107) - THIS WAS BECAUSE IT WAS NOT DEEMED NECESSARY TO DESIGN TWO SEPARATE LITHO TEMPLATES!!!!
