@Don McErlean posted:NWL: I observed your video of the American Flyer freights. I wondered about the standard (wide) gauge set on the outer track. I obtained from my brother (he was not interested in trains) an AF std gauge set which was cataloged (I think) as "The Pioneer" which contained the 4644 New Haven type box cab in red (just as your video shows) with the green gondola and red caboose but no box car. I wondered if you might know, if the box car came in the original set or if you added it for the video.

Don,
The set running on my layout is the Nation Wide Lines standard gauge set that was sold through JC Penney as a store brand train. All cars are original and marked 4667 and Nation Wide Lines. The engine has a different number, but also the Nation Wide Lines plates on it. So yes the boxcar is original to this set and was not added. However, there are many different variations of freight sets and I am not that knowledgeable about Standard Gauge. I would have to consult the catalogs to learn more.
