Ed L., The American Flyer S Gaugers in the St. Louis Area have been running a number of passenger trains in the Famous-Barr (now Macy's) window at Christmas time for 23 years. These cars have had problems with the axles wearing the bearing holes into slots. They are run from 9AM till 9PM 7 days a week with only the engines being switched out about mid-day. Ron Bashista has been very helpful with the truck replacement by our maintenance expert, Norm Pilarski. These trains are run between Thanksgiving and 31 December.
