Notes:
The #21107 was produced from 1964 through 1966 in three variations. In 1964, the #21107 was produced with a PRR Keystone logo and the words "AMERICAN FLYER LINES" imprinted on the tender. The 1964 model has a one-piece chassis, die-cast drive wheels with white tires, and a two-position reverse unit directly wired to the tender. The second variation, shown in the photo, is an example of the 1965 model, which has the "Burlington Route" logo along with "AMERICAN FLYER LINES" imprinted on the tender. The 1965 model has plastic drive wheels with white painted tires. The third variation, produced in 1966, utilized the PRR Keystone logo again along with "AMERICAN FLYER LINES" on the tender. However, the 1966 model has black plastic drive wheels.
