Reply to "American Flyer - Prewar Tunnel Variation Guide"

So this is where Flyer and tunnels can be confusing.

The 1932 catalog shows the same artwork as the 1931 catalog, but again the descriptions are different.

The standard gauge tunnels are again the 4266 and 4267 tunnels.

But the O gauge tunnels have slightly different descriptions

261 - Jefferson - 8.5 inches. So this appears to confirm that the tunnel shown in the Clipper and Railroader sets, is not the 261 Hudson tunnel, as although it has the same number, it has a different name.

The 262, 263, and 264 tunnels feature the same descriptions.

The dealer's price list now includes the Jefferson tunnel, but no longer includes the "Express" tunnel. I note that the Skylark set artwork appears to still show the Express tunnel, but the Empire City artwork now shows a more conventional tunnel similar to the Jefferson tunnel.
