DANG IT... when will I EVER learn!?! John Degnan [email protected] CURSES... moderated AGAIN!!! Oh well, more work for the moderator... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Edward Loizeaux" <[email protected]> To: "S scale List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, November 2, 2011 2:27:52 PM Subject: {S-Scale List} Radical Idea Perhaps it would make sense to abandon this mis-named S-scale list and merge everyone into the S-trains list for even more messages with pure AF content. Just thinking...Ed L. HOME PAGE QUOTE: This list is NOT for discussions about American Flyer and other toy trains. American Flyer only subject threads will be given a VERY short life before they are ended. <snip> For 1/64th scale toy trains, including Gilbert/American Flyer, see the Yahoo "S-Trains" group; MESSAGES I READ TODAY: The American Flyer ALCo PA & PB locomotives had what at first glance appeared to be 3-axle (6-wheel) trucks, but the center axle/wheelset was totally missing. It was not a question of whether it was powered or not. Tom Hawley Except as I recall, the Flyer PA has a pickup "stud" rather than a wheel in the center spot. Pieter E. Roos I saw 3-axle tenders in stores that had the center axle missing; including Trost Hobbies in Chicago in ~1964 which had 4 different AF locos in a showcase, all with the same 4-axle tender, like a Hudson, Pacific, K-5, and Atlantic. Did we mention the AF catalog where the GP-7 was shown had it equipped with PA sideframes DJE [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
