What AF Locomotive is this?
Posted by Grizzly Adams on Monday, August 18, 2014 12:30 PM

Motor is good, but needs wheels, so I need to know what number AF loco this is.  Thought I was a 617, but it has no embossed rivets on the shell.  

Thanks!

Hi Grizzly Adams.

Looks like you have an non-numbered type XVIII locomotive from 1932 called the Champion Locomotive. I can't find it in my 1932 catalog but my reference book says it's from the Dictator set number 941T.


Good luck

Great looking set!  

Looks like I have a lot of parts to find for this engine!    Are reproduction wheels and rods available for this one?

I bet there are but I'm not sure. You might want to give Eric Trickel a call as he has many prewar American Flyer parts. 484-624-4354.


Good luck.
