Dr.Fu-Manchu The Train Guy is back with more info: First, I must Bow to the Great O
gauge Overlord's insight. I found a book at Barnes & Noble called " American Flyer
Classic Toy Trains" Most useful. As to Drwhog, I found you some more info: The Loco
you have is NYC style box-cab electric made in 1928, the set was called "The Statesman" So your set was made in Chicago in 1928. Pre A.C. Gilbert. I have not
