Allow me to introduce you to The Bluebird. This is another one of the named trains that Flyer marketed in the late 20's, with its first appearance in the catalogue being in 1927. It is another 4 unit set consisting of an electric outline engine, baggage, coach and observation.
In the 1927 set I believe that the engine was the 3013, while from 1928-29 the set was headed by the 3113. These were both boxcab electrics, and rather similar from the side. However, the 3013 has a headlight cut into the front and a bell on the roof, while the 3113 has replaced the bell with the headlight.
The baggage car is typically not marked for the set specifically, and does not feature a number. The coach also has no number or identifying name. The observation has no lettering lithographed on the body, but the platform on the rear has a sheet metal drumhead that reads "Flyer Limited".
