Pretty funky video.  I enjoyed watching it.

But, hey, let's see that loco in motion.

All that restoration work, we want to see the results.

Nice restoration.  My first Flyer locomotive was a Franklin that I got for Christmas in 1959 as part of a Truscott set.. I now have another Franklin and a Washington set.  They are very colorful locomotives!

Nice job Blake! Many would have just left the body alone and serviced the engine.

Absolutely agree. 

Still want to see a video of that little guy in action in all of its restored glory.
