@pd posted:Nearly four decades since my grandparents passed away, we finally retrieved my grandfather's Flyer set from the stuff remaining in the attic and basement. Been looking for this for a very long time:
The Suburban from 1926, quite a bit of surface corrosion, but the wheels look good and the motor turns freely. Hoping to have this back in running order soon. To be honest, just having it sitting on a shelf would be fine too. Lots of memories in this box.

That actually looks like a 1927 Suburban set. The reason I say this is that the engine has 2 brass pantographs on it, which is a characteristic of 1927 engines. The 1926 engines had cast pantographs on them, similar to below
