Posted by Blake on Sunday, September 4, 2011 12:59 AM

 I am new here and i need some help. I have an old American Flyer O gauge 565  that needs parts. I need the front truck, back truck, cow catcher, drive wheel, boiler front, and left side drive rod. Anybody know where i can find them? not related but i have an o gauge layout, a pretty neat collection of pre war lionel, post war and new. also some american flyer, does anybody want to see my layout and collection?

I can't help ya on the AF parts but there are parts dealers that sell AF parts.

Always interested in viewing other layouts and collections. Can you post pictures of your accumulation. There is a Sunday photo fun thread that forum members post pictures to or you can post a separate thread hi-liting your layout and collection.

Hi Blake and Welcome to the form, any pics you can show is always welcome.

Port lines Hobby Supplies probably has most of what you need. Here is a link to the American Flyer PreWar parts List:

And here is the main page to the site.

Good luck with your restoration and keep us updated with your progress.
