Two gun metal gray O gauge prewar American Flyer streamlined steam engines compared ... A "Chicago" Flyer No. 1688, a Gilbert Flyer 3/16" scale No. 553, and both paired with Mr. Barclay.

I had never realized that the American Flyer "Torpedo"  2-4-4 had the 1688 number. So did the Lionel

2-4-2 Torpedo.  Coincidence?  Lew SchneiderLionel 1688 with 1685-87 coaches copyAF 1688

FLASH!!1  Just learned from a friend that the AF 2-4-4 Torpedo was numbered 1668 not 1688.  Close

to the Lionel version but no cigar.
