In the late 20's American Flyer introduced several named train sets that were very popular and which sold many sets. They show up quite frequently, and as with all of Flyer production there are plenty of variations. Northwoods has two versions of the train called "The Oriental Limited". Its a 4 unit set consisting of the engine (either a 3012 (possible limited to 1927, typically has red lithographed window trim) or 3112 (similar engine, but used 1928-29, has blue window trim instead of red) boxcab electric), baggage (reparely identifying name or number on them), coach (typically a Paul Revere name lithographed under the windows), and observation (typically with the name Lexington on the sides). The names have been known to appear on the opposite car, or even both on the same car.
