@Rob English posted:Could be a First year Flying Colonel.... FC uses the 3 19" cars. 14" Warrior sets most are grey w/trusses but a few green w/ tanks were taken from Pocohantas sets and repurposed. Top plates were American Flyer Lines mostly, Some retained their Pocahontas plates. No guarantees that the "Pocowarrior" are accurate unless the have the AFL plates, grey set trucks, and truss rods.
I just checked my 14" Warrior set. My set has 4 cars, 3 with gray set trucks, trusses, and Pocohantas plates, and the passenger car, which has gray set trucks, trusses, and American Flyer plates. I'm sure that there was a lot of "mix and match" at that time and sometimes a shortage of plates. Always interesting to hear of the various variations. A whole other discussion would be the different plates found on the A.F steamer cabs. I have a piper with Annapolis, and an early 4680 with Adams plates.
