just picked this up. It's a repaint runs great. Thought it looked nice. I have no idea if AF had a set painted like this.

Doc,
Flyer did not paint a set in those colors. Based on the engine's apparent cast iron cow catchers, it appears that you have a 3103, which would have normally been red and may have come either with red painted passenger cars similar to the ones you have or with freight cars.
I believe the 3103 engine dates to around 1930-1931.
Looks like a nice paint job, I assume the colors are black and cream?

Thanks for the info. The plate on the engine is 3103. It is cream and dark blue. Runs nice.

I wondered if it might be a dark blue instead of black, but could not tell. It is a nice color scheme.
VERY NICE! :-)
Here is my first American Flyer Tinplate set. An O Gauge, 1928 uncataloged set. I purchased it from NWL this Spring 2020.
