Not many parts available there but I found this diagram at Olsen's: http://pictures.olsenstoy.com//searchcd31.htm?itm=1859.  At the very least it has some part numbers.

Trains, trains, wonderful trains.  The more you get, the more you toot!  Big Smile

What company makes this American Flyer item? I have a Greenberg's price guide(2015 edition) for American Flyer and can't locate the item you have listed in any section. It is not A.C. Gilbert as it would have been a 3 digit or 5 digit in the number and not 4. Looked at Lionel's American Flyer & Americn Models listings and not found there either. Not an MTH item either as far as I can tell.

Well Bob Nelson that sheds more light on the subject, it is pre war American Flyer. That's why my Greenberg's guide didn't list it, the guide is for 1946 to 2015.
