sticking with the Type VI transitional frame, i must admit i'm usually a stickler for condition, but once in a while something comes along were you have to lower all standards* ...
the all copper boiler was the last #1010 model made and is shown here with the equally rare Type VI frame copper tender.
the uniquely identifiable feature of this engine is an extra long drawbar to be able to reach down to the low tender coupler,
plus it is the only drawbar in the 1110 series that swivels.
Greenberg (Doyle) lists/ pictures a few freight cars with the Type VI frame and also mentions that the copper #1110 & tender may have only appeared in a single ca. 1938 freight set, but for some reason he doesn't go as far as identifying the actual freight cars.
the small SunShine Special cars work for me for now, but i'd certainly appreciate any input on the 1937 Grainger's Catalog ad which may at least graphically show that freight set.
cheers...gary
* a note to the reliability/ durability of the Hafner clockwork motor... i would have accepted this one with a frozen mechanism or worse, yet despite its visible cosmetic condition, the motor winds and operates as smoothly as it probably did on day one.
