I’m not a box collector either Terry but I would get excited over this one and it even came with a cool train set too! 👍

NICE! It is amazing what is still out there yet undiscovered!
A pair of Hafner M10000’s. One with the normal nose, the other is the harder to find shovel nose.

Cool- did you kitbash the "shovel nose", or is that really a Hafner factory variation? I don't recall ever seeing that one before. Thanks for posting that.

John, they are original. They just don’t show up as often. Hope to see you Sunday?
Here is another one shown on our website.

another lesson from the Professor....didn't know about the red end version, guess that's what makes it rare.

Terry,
Congratulations nice set! I own the same set and it is called the Chief and was cataloged in 1927 only. The set is often referred to as the 4th President Special although it isn't really. It is a more dressed up set than the previous year's President Special with Journals and extra trim and of course a #4677 engine instead of #4639. Like all Flyer standard gauge engines, it runs great and I expect that your's will too.
