its prewar af O steamer I think a 4-6-2  or 4-4-2 (there were a few variations of each with the same boiler shell).wheel arrangement.  It could have had a diecast metal tender. and would have come with saome sheet metal cars either pasenger or freight.

 

Could be a nice engine if it will clean up or maybe restored if needed.

 

COOL!

American Flyer did make O gauge 3 rail trains before AC Gilbert bought the company and switched to 2 rail "S" gauge.  What is the wheel arrangement on the loco?

While helping my Mom clean some things out we found my Dad's old engine.  The cab # is 432 and that is about all I know.  It is in bad shape and I am hoping to have it restored.  Does this # help to identify it?   I can not find any other #'s, etc.. on it.

It was mixed in with some American Flyer things.  My best guess is that he had both in his set but this appears to be O as it has a center pick up for power.  The only tender in the box was an American Flyer.

Thanks!
