@Mallard4468- thank you for your compliment and your comments. I agree us collectors sometimes sit on the fence...looking for something in great shape but knowing that if we find it that way it means it likely never fulfilled its purpose. Well I can tell you its loved now (by me!).
@pd - thanks for you comment and compliment. I just recently got a book that has a full chapter on Hafner so I am finally learning some detail about the line. It looked like your loco is a #100 with a #1181 tender. This would have been offered in the 1920's up to the early 1930's. Its really beautiful. OBTW I share your love for the low end sets mostly because I think that more children got to play with them than the very expensive high end, especially in the pre war period.
Best wishes
Don
