Winding up the weekend with a few pre-war Chicago Flyer freights.  When I set them out on the track, I realized that I have no information that these were ever offered together or even at the same time.  I did (sort of) find out that they seemed to be products of the middle 1920's but could not get any more definite than that. So, you Flyer experts, and I know you are out there, please forgive this grouping.  So why did I take the picture of them together, well while I was messing around, my grandson said..."You should take a picture of them all together".  When I asked why, he responded..."Because they are all red!"  So here you go for tinplate weekend...a group of "red ones"

Flyer Red Freights

Don,

The 1112 boxcar and 1117 caboose certainly could have came together and would have been offered in the middle to late 1920s on those trucks.

The 1200 is actually a baggage car and would have came with similar red 1201 passenger coaches.  Based on the earlier trucks on this car, it was likely offered in the early 1920s.
