@pd posted:Yeah, I would agree, although the 1927 catalog describes the pantographs as being the stamped version but nickel-plated. I'm just hopeful we can get the surface corrosion cleaned up and back in running order.
I seem to have misspoke. You are correct that they would be nickel plated pantographs on the 1927 engine. I just looked at my 1096 engines and they are a mix of brass and nickel, but the ones with 2 pantographs are nickel plated. The later ones that have a bell and a pantograph are more often brass than nickel. I believe that Flyer changed from nickel plated to brass plated in 1928.
