Not for sale at the moment. Now that I have a nice one, I'm thinking of a repaint, maybe a cream window stripe and red. There is a similar one on e-bay now that was painted over, has all the cars.
Robin.........I went through the Flyer listings twice last night and did not see it either. It must have already ended. I'll keep my eyes open for one. At the time I saw it, I did not think to save the listing.
@gigeastman Thanks, Steve. I now have a search recorded on a Comet, so I should be notified when (and if) one comes up. Thanks again for the tip, Robin.
It's like a who's who of streamliners. We are on the same wavelength as far as collecting!-TM

If it's old and tin, it has to be good.

Three really beautiful trains! I love the "wiggly" trains also.

Hey Steve your trains look great on that large layout. The Illinois Central looks especially nice streaking along that long straight away.

I really like those American Flyer streamliners. I'm still looking for a tail car for my Comet set. Great finds at Cal Stewart. Thanks for showing.

I have a spare Comet, but someone painted the whole thing silver. Don't know what the litho looks like underneath.

@gigeastman Hmmm. It wouldn't be for sale, would it, Steve? If it is, e-mail me at collector390@shaw.ca Robin

Those are beautiful! I too love the look of the old tin-lithographed sets. Hope you can find a decent American Flyer motor for your Green Diamond.

The motor that came with it is generally Ok ans will be repaired when I get the time.
