Archer Transfer 3D resin rivets #2

These models were produced through 1953, although there is some doubt whether or not they were actually produced in 1946. Of the 15 variations, the two 1947 variations are the rarest. Note that the window configurations between their two sides is different.

1947: painted green or red, 6-wheel trucks that are 2-1/2" long with thick shank link couplers.
1948: painted green or red, 6-wheel trucks that are 2-1/8" long with couplers that have brass weights.
1948 (late): unpainted green plastic and two variations with unpainted tuscan plastic; the latter has one variation with the number on the ends of the side, and the other with the number in the center.
1949: from now on all came with link couplers with blackened weights; painted green; number in the center.
1949-1952: two variations have olive-green and two variations of unpainted (molded) tuscan plastic bodies with short trucks, with centered numbers (the lettering style was different between the two for each body color).
1953: the wording was changed to show "Pikes Peak" above the windows and "American Flyers Lines" below the windows, and "Pullman" was moved to the end of the car; there were two tuscan variations (two different lettering styles for "Pullman") and one green one.
