    Description

    2020Nov04 -- I am TOP RATED on this marketplace with a current 12-month FEEDBACK rating of 100%, and I offer Combined Shipping. See my last pic for my eBay Seller Level.
    I have for sale lead weights for American Flyer link couplers which do not have a weight. I make these from sheet lead 1/8" thick. The weights are 3/8" diameter x 1/8" thick. Compare to the AF steel and brass weights, pic #2. Weights -- lead 13 grams, brass 16 grams, steel 17 grams. For your classic AF cars with non-weighted couplers these lead weights are an easy solution, just glue them on using E6000 or UHU or similar, pic #3. This is much simpler than drilling out the links for the AF weights (if you can find them) or replacing the links which is not easy if you don't have the proper tooling. Please note that these weights are not a solution for sticking link couplers. That's a whole other problem for which the only real solution is to remove the pin and link, clean both of them, and re-install. Special tooling needed.
    I have a stock of sheet lead, a 3/8" punch, and a hydraulic press for punching out the weights. You probably don't.
    For shipping I have specified a handling time of 10 business days.
