Hafner Wind-up Set Question

ElgauchoOGR Forum Member

Hi Everyone.

Can someone help me "date" this box? Also, there seems to be two numbers on either side of this skirt (to me!) Is this a "802" or "902" set?

Given that this is a set for a cast locomotive, would anyone know "which" locomotive corresponds with this box? (also, with or without a brake)

Lastly, can anyone provide me photo reference for date-appropriate "tracks"?

Thanks so much!

A set 802 was produced for a few years. In the catalogs I've seen, it was always a set with only a circle of track, no straights. Tender would have been the smaller 1180 style, road name varied. it would have had two #86 coaches, again the name from overland flyer or a herald car. would have varied. Locomotive most likely a 100 without side rods, but hard to be sure. Early 20's through early 30's.

Thanks Steve. Plenty of info there. Currently, I’ve got the set-up like this, but I’m willing to alter it if it’s incorrect. That’s strange that it’s just a circle track but i can see how only 4-6 tracks could fit in the middle there.
