1937 AMERICAN FLYER 1688 AND 1110 TYPE CARS

This is an American Flyer 1688 from 1937 and some 6 1/2 inch 8 wheel cars. The cars are a 1116 sand car, 1115 boxcar, 1118 tank car and a 1117 caboose. These are the 6 1/2 inch eight wheel litho cars from the
1921-1929 time frame. This engine uses the drivers from the large Hudson and the Hiawatha. One of my best running engines,very smooth and glides when power is shut off.

Tom, that's a beautiful set and great to see some Pre-war Flyer in action. - Ed

@marxtoynut I have a few vids of Flyer. I actually think I like the prewar Flyer items the best. This engine is a particularly good running engine. Very smooth and controllable with great coasting and good pulling power. I don't always see these. I really like the look of the large drivers.-TM

Tom, Nice to see that the Lionel 'Big Guns' have restored order and safety to your layout. Now older folks like the Gilbert family feel safe to go for a stroll. (-;
