Reply to "American Flyer - Prewar Tunnel Variation Guide"

The 1935 catalog now shows only a single tunnel image and now only lists 3 tunnels

O gauge listings include:

261 - 8.5 inch tunnel

247 - 11 inch tunnel

I was able to identify the 247 tunnel simply due to acquiring one with a price tag on the inside that listed the number.

Note that this tunnel does not have a building moulded into the side.

Both of the above tunnels being listed as Non-lighted tunnels.

A single lighted tunnel is listed as

246 - 15.5 inches and it is noted that it works with either standard gauge or O gauge.

First, I would note that although it is listed for either standard or O gauge, this tunnel does not have the clearance for some of the earlier Wide Gauge locomotives with pantographs on the top.

Again, it looks better lighted
