Favorite Flyer

Now, most of you fine folks here probably consider me to be an S Scale-stick-in-the-mud worried about accuracy and where the rivets are hiding.  That's mostly true for scale and somewhat less so for hirail.

But, I have my soft spot.  While I never met a Flyer EP5 I didn't like, my favorite Flyer turns out to be the C&O passenger set from 1989.

While the C&O never had PA's and the gray fluting should really be silver, these things don't bother me here.  The colors and graphics are well executed.  This set makes for a great piece of eye-candy (runs pretty good, too...) and edges out my Lionel/Flyer Silver Flash set as my number one choice.

I had the good fortune to pick up an orphaned coach way back when to add the fifth car.  I also know a baggage car was offered and I almost bought one, but I happened to consider the set "perfect" as it stands.

I'm guessing one or two of you out there in Forumland might have a favorite Flyer piece.  Let's see 'em.
