Locomotive and all cars have original boxes. Set Includes: Presidential Locomotive w/Ps2, Presidential Passenger Set Product Number: 11-2007-1 M.S.R.P. $ 1799.95 First appeared in: 2009 Lionel Tinplate Volume 1 At the apex of the tinplate era, American Flyer's top-of-the-line set was the President's Special. Introduced in 1926 with lithographed passenger cars and a painted engine, by 1928 the Special had evolved into a totally embossed, painted set with brass window inserts and details. While it lacked the interior furnishings of Lionel's best passenger cars, the Flyer set was nonetheless a magnificent train and, at $75.00, noticeably less expensive than comparable Lionel offerings. American Flyer's advertising department spared no hyperbole in its 1930 catalog description of the train: "America's finest miniature railroad train and the "crack" train of the American Flyer lines, modeled after the 20th Century - America's Finest!

It is 100" long. Fashioned carefully
