Great videos!  I've enjoyed watching your step by step progress. I am not much of a repair person, but you have illustrated the process well enough to give me the inspiration to try some of it myself.  And of course because it is Flyer I particularly appreciate it.  Keep up the good work.

Great video.  For an inexperienced individual such as myself it's great to see these detailed steps.

Thanks,

Joe

Video series - restoring an American Flyer #4000!
Posted by Darth Santa Fe on Sunday, October 13, 2013 9:50 PM

A while ago I put up photos of my new Standard Guage train, led by a beat-up American Flyer #4000. I've made a lot of progress on the restoration, and have taken a lot of video along the way, so now I'm putting up a video series for it!Big Smile

I'm actually near the point of the last details and reassembly, so I should have the full series finished and uploaded pretty quickly.Smile
