I have for sale several American Flyer S-gauge rail car trucks with fixed knuckle couplers. I've removed these from rail cars which I've converted to link coupler trucks. These are standard American Flyer trucks. Details ... frame is sheet steel, sides are sintered metal, fixed knuckle coupler is crimped in, mounting hole is factory 1/8". If requested I will drill out the mounting hole to a larger size. There are several varieties of AF knuckle trucks, and this variety has the sides staked onto the frame. This design is delicate and you have to use care when removing / installing wheel sets. The boss riveted trucks are a better design. For this truck I've ensured the sides are firmly attached to the frame, all 4 wheels sit on the rails, sides are plumb to the frame. I've soft wire brush cleaned the wheelsets to remove any rim "tires" built up from dirt and oil, to remove any white crud, and to remove any axle rust (for the most part). Also visually inspected each wheel set during cleaning for any defects, flat spots, etc. I've set the gauge to 0.86", flange root to flange root.
This truck is what I call Style 1. On each of the truck's sides there are 2 triangular features. For Style 1 the centers of the triangular features are indented, and for Style 2
the centers of the triangular features are flat.
Purchase Options ... I can substitute zinc alloy metal wheel sets or steel metal wheel sets for the plastic wheel sets in these trucks. Zinc alloy wheel sets are per truck and steel wheel sets are per truck. The steel wheel sets perform much better than the zinc alloy wheel sets. If you're interested message me and we'll work out payment details for these purchase options. I would have liked to list these purchase options as "variations" on the listed item, but ebay does not permit "variations" for this item's category.
