Here's a very clean sett of American Flyer 474-475 Silver Rocket Alco PA's. Shells are full excellent except for a chip on the bottom edge of the power units skirt. I have completely dissembled both motors, bead blasted the wheels and motor frames re-surfaced both armatures and greased the gears. Both frames a nice and clean, even the pick-up shoes shows very little run time. Dummy A unit has the original diesel horn that I wasn't able to test because I no longer have an original horn controller. I've added a Dallee electronic E unit which now cost $70.00 with shipping but it eliminates the troublesome original mechanical reverse unit.

Great Train
Great American Flyer 1950's dual motor. I'm a novice, learning AF as I go. These were made to last and be repairable. It's very satisfying to have a nice running engine like this after working on it. Usually not cheap, but affordable, especially when compared to new prices.
