Reply to "Prewar Flyer and it’s crazy numbering system question"

Jim,

The Type IV (4) tender had a curly-q (sheet metal knuckle) Type X coupler in 1939 when it was used in the double header set.  It was the tender behind the powered locomotive.  The dummy locomotive had a curly-q on the front.

Sorry for the fuzzy shot on this one.

Are you sure about the other tender being a type 9? That is a sheet metal semi Vanderbilt only made in 1934 and I don't remember it coming with a torpedo engine. 

Are you thinking of a type XII?  It was available from 1936 to 1939.  The 1939 version was grey and had the curly-q coupler.
