@goobernuts posted:I just completed restoration of my Grandfather’s 4692-X-r/c American Flyer (Iron Monarch) set, which I believe was manufactured in 1930. My 90 year old Grandfather told me it was his father’s set but doesn’t remember ever seeing it run. Thanks to exceptional rewiring, new wheels, cleaning and lubrication performed by Joe Mania, my Grandfather was able to finally see this set run. It brought a big smile and quite a few tears to his face, which made it well worth the time. Set runs like it is brand new again.
Applause and my compliments to you for such a very nice gesture and a job well done! Thank you for sharing these photos! This brightened my day.
