Hi Guys:
I have a caboose with American Flyer but looks like a Bachmann style offset cupola model. Anyone know this model?
Thx,
Gareth

That caboose was made by Lionel.
I came in the American Flyer set made in the late 70's.

Don't know this for certain, but I believe the American Flyer set was a SEARS exclusive.
The set was powered by the Lionel GP9 in this same red-white-and-blue American Flyer dress and included the Caboose seen here. The set also had the cool SEARS green 40' Sliding Door Box Car. It's from Lionel's 2nd run at HO-scale (1974-1977).
Greenberg published a nice guide to Lionel-HO. It's done in two volumes. The second volume covers Lionel's '70s HO trains.
