American Flyer O gauge ID

Can't be sure of the exact number.  Would need more photos.  The trailing truck on engine doesn't match any of the pics in my book.  Also, can't determine exact position of domes, whistle, etc. on top of engine.  The tender appears to be type 5 oil tender, but again the trucks don't match any in my reference book.  Value ??  does it run?  Back cab of engine looks bent.   Not an uncommon engine or tender.  Perhaps another reader can add more.

It is a type XVI 4615-4 from 1938-1939.  These are good runners.

Unfortunately,the cab bend is not repairable.  $50 - $75.  Excellent would be $250.

The couplers are curly Q type, which was used in 1938 only, so that dates the set.

The large die-cast 2-4-4 with the die cast semi Vanderbilt was cataloged as # 46154.

It's on page 15 of the 1938 AF catalog.  Here's a link:Gilbert 1938 Catalog Index

i think you'll find this is a 2-4-2 locomotive.  the trailing truck is missing the wheels/axle that sits in the front position, but the rear axle is a dummy.  Flyer did this type of faux truck on a few of their diecast engines.

another clue to 1938 is the American Flyer decal below the cab window.  in 1939, all the Flyer Types still produced changed to the 400 series numbering.

the tender is a Type VI, cat #3301.

=============

edit:  just to clear things up as much as one can with this era of Flyer, so far everyone is correct with the numbers mentioned, it's just that Flyer had numbers for their locomotives (sometimes more than one number), numbers for the tenders, and numbers for engine-tender combinations.

this combination locomotive- tender was catalog #4615-4

(4615-6 was the same Type with a 2-6-4 wheel arrangement)

with the locomotive catalog of #4315-4

and the tender, as i mentioned already, was cat #3301

It looks like the trailing truck is the 4 wheel sheet metal type used in the 403. The loco came with both a 2 and 4 wheel trailing truck. I believe the 46154 was a 2-4-4 type and the 424 and 1688 engines had the 2 wheel truck.
