3018 6" tank car

My offering this time is for Flyer's O gauge tank cars.   Tank cars were first introduced in American Flyer's catalogs around 1910.  Several different styles, in varying lengths were made through the years. 5 1/2" cars were made from 1910 to about 1914, 6 1/2" cars were made in Lithographed and Enameled versions, 9 1/2" cars were also made in Lithographed and Enameled versions.
The Northwoods Flyer collection contains the following 6 1/2" enamel versions:

Grey with red supports, AF stamped on the right (1930-31)

Grey with blue supports, AF stamped to the left (1932)

"AF LINES AIR SERVICE" tank car, yellow (1934-35). Came with either a black or blue frame.

TEXACO tank car, yellow (1938)
