R? ... red?

i've got the "short" line version ...

Flyer pass 3141

Flyer pass 3142

Yes,

The R designates red.  As you probably know you have the 3140 and the 3141. I can't make out in your photo if the cars are numbered. They are in remarkable condition.    I don't  have any that nice in my collection, and I tend to shy away from the 4 wheel cars.  My collection would be huge if I decided to collect the 4 wheel variations too.

the silver on red doesn't show up too well, does it.  the coach is 3141 and the obsv is 3142 actually.  i have a few 4 axle cars, but i prefer the 4=wheel versions.  even though prewar Flyer is far from any "scale" size, i have the same strategy about space conservation.... especially when i figure in Marx and Hafner, too!!

glad you posted the "automatic coupler" picture.  i think i heard that the curly-Q couplers weren't called that in the 30's, but i wasn't sure if "automatic" referred to that one or the later link/ pin.  the catalog pictures do not really indicate much.
