Hafner Overland Flyer Union Pacific M10000 | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

I hope this is the right forum - forgive me if it's not.

I recently acquired Hafner Overland Flyer Union Pacific M10000 set. Obviously the box is in rough shape but the contents were in fairly good condition. The antiques dealer let me set it up on a table and the clockworks locomotive wound up and ran immediately so I had to add it to my collection. In the few days since I purchased it, I've done some research and believe that this set was introduced around 1933-1935. I've seen lots of other Hafner Overland Flyer sets but only a couple that match this one and wonder if anyone on this forum can share any information on the history of this set and/or style from Hafner.

Thanks in advance for any information you can offer!

I believe the slant nose Zephyr style was about 1937.
