Reply to "Hafner Cars"

Hafner also made and Century of Progress sets, M10000 streamliners in several colors and 8-wheel coaches and boxcars. The 8-wheel cars are relatively rare and command high prices. They were all from the Overland Flyer era. The rounded frame boxcars were produced at the point where Wyandotte purchased the company, and were continued as Wyandotte items. the Wyandotte style boxcars and freights also appear later in the fifties as Plastimarx after Wyandotte sold the stampings to Marx. Most were litho'ed Ferrocarilles. For example, Hafner produced the 2000 clockwork engine in black and red/blue/silver litho, Plastimarx used the same engine shell in green/yellow/black and silver/orange/black. It should also be noted that Hafner locos were always clockwork.

I purchased the Hafner/Wyandotte book, great info and scads of photos.

 

How did I do Gary?
