Don McErlean posted:NWL: Your set really interesting. It seems more than coincidental that these two sets seem to be unique because of how AF used their decals. The unique thing about my pass cars ( uncataloged according to G’berg) was the placement of the singular American Flyer decal centered under the windows. Maybe they were having sort of either process or supply issue with their decals. Who knows?
All the data I could find on my set points to 1939 from the perspective of the 403 combination loco and tender in black and the single American Flyer decal below the windows on the cars

Don,
Actually the single decal under the window is how the late Gilbert cars were decorated. The curley-cue knuckle type couplers on these cars also points to 1939.
