Hello all   

1928  Ives declares bankruptcy and struggles to produce the #1134 steamer ...Flyer offers up their 21" passenger cars ..in exchange for the steamer casting for their first steamer.    The lines of the 1134 pulling a string of Flyer passenger cars is about as perfect as tinplate gets . 0409201004~2 

 

Carey,

just for the sake of conversation, I noticed your observation roof over the rear platform  is arch cut instead of flat cut (how A-Flyer) usually cut the rear platform end.

Just wondering if the observation roof is on backwards, swapped onto another car, or if none of the 4 are cut correctly for the observation car.  Just trying to figure out if Ives ever got any of the correctly cut roofs from Flyer, or if they were all coach roofs (arch cut on both ends)

Heres a picture of a flat cut “correct” obsv. Roof on a AF president car  for reference.
