In the new MTH Ready To Run Catalog, under accessories, most American Flyer accessories start with 35-. However, the American Flyer coal loader still starts with 30-9158. Why wasn't the A.F. coal loader grouped with the rest of the Flyer accessories?

Maybe because it works well with "O" gauge trains and that's a bigger market. Don

Bingo! And the prize goes to Don! 
Either that or they just figured if it wasn't broke, why mess with it?
Prize should be in the mail already, Don! 
The Flyer Oil Drum Loader is another first-rate accessory that works great with O gauge.
Wow, Christmas in March. Thanks Allan I always wanted S-3 Northern Pilot model. Don
All the "S" Gauge accessories posted in the back of the MTH RTR catalog work well with Lionel.
I think Mr. Jimmy should get the prize for asking a very good question.

I just hope it arrives safely. It's a long trip!
