I've never run an AmericanFlyer loco so I'm wondering given their age do they
run well enough to make converting them to scale worth all the trouble? I've
only seen them running at bullet train speeds so I have doubts about their
ability to run at scale speed? One could probably do the bulk of the flange
reduction with a powered grinder against the running wheel then finish it off
with a file, if they can be turned down to somewhere around 50-60 thousandths
and narrowed enough they should be able to run on scale track.It's apretty
common operation in O scale , converting three rail big flanged locos into
scale wheeled locos....dave
