Boxed American Flyer wide gauge 1460 Pioneer steam freight set - Boxed American Flyer wide gauge 1460 Pioneer steam freight set. Set consists of 4694 Ives casting steam locomotive with a repaired headlight pedestal, a screw was added to the cab roof to incorporate a light, the pilot assembly is incorrect from repairs, the wheels are frozen from swelling to touch the shell, 4694 Vanderbilt tender with red brass plates that has been repainted, it also has a very tight hairline crack going from the frame at the front left edge all the way into the inside. I believe that the repaint job helped to slow down or stop the process of fatigue but I cannot be certain, C6+ green 4017 sand car, C7 4018 box car and C7 4021 caboose. The set box is nice with great labels but has two split corners that were repaired at some point and poor to good component boxes. Circa 1929-30
