American Flyer Water Tower question
Posted by RRCharlie on Thursday, August 9, 2007 11:57 AM

I have a # 752 American Flyer Water Tower with the red and white checkerboard wrap around the top of the tower and the lighted bubble tube. The base is a dark grey and the little house is a light yellow with red trim. The roof is missing. What color was the roof and was it metal or cardboard?

Thanks,

It has a metal roof that is usually black although I have seen other colors light or dark green and the shed color determins the roof color.  Black on brown sheds and Green on white sheds.  It is a common roof and replacements from http://www.portlines.com/ for $6.50 green or $7.00 black.  Since you say your shed is yellow, I'd say the paint is faded white or has been repainted.

Jim;

Thanks for the information. I checked the site and will probably order a roof tomorrow.
