Illinois Central Streamliner

Another of the sheet metal streamliners that American Flyer produced only appeared in the 1935 catalog.  It is known as the Illinois Central Streamliner.  It has also been known as the Green Diamond. Sets are difficult to find in decent shape, usually cosmetic or other problems such as damage by being bent or crushed, just like many of the other streamliners made in sheet steel by American Flyer.  I can just imagine someone stepping on the train by accident under the Christmas tree.
