American Flyer 1:48 locomotives?

Yes they did.  I just googled - American Flyer O gauge trains and there is plenty of info out there about this.  They also made standard gauge trains, what they called wide gauge.

I have a couple of AF #429 0-6-0 locomotives that have die-cast bodies.  They are nicely proportioned and detailed locos.  This is a junk-box #429 that I converted to clockwork:

I'm in the middle of trying to clean up and repaint an AF 447 or 1680 which is O gauge and roughly scale to my eyes with a diecast rather than tinplate boiler.

Here is a topic on that series of engine https://ogrforum.com/topic/pre...bout-my-unusual-1680

Here’s my Flyer O gauge 0-6-0 switcher.  It was produced circa 1938 and was a gift from a friend of my father.  I replaced the Flyer coupler on the tender with a Lionel  coupler, painted over American Flyer on the tender and added NYC decals when I was a kid.

American Flyer 429.  This is a scale sized 0-6-0 switcher.

American Flyer 435 Pacific.  This is scale sized with drivers that are small for a Pacific.

cbq9911a, nice examples of O gauge Flyer.  The Pacific looks like it has the same size drivers as the 0-6-0.  I think my Flyer 0-6-0 is larger than scale, compared to an Atlas 0-6-0 and other scale steamers I own.

Flyer 429 and Lionel 701 (1991 version).  The Flyer engine is chunkier and sits higher than the Lionel engine.  But it's within the range of variance for an 0-6-0 switcher.

Flyer 429 and Atlas 0-6-0.

From my "O AF collection" (actually the entire collection). This boiler was also used on a 4-4-2 chassis, it seems. Some real Pacifics were built with freight use in mind, not passenger, and had relatively small divers, so the AF version above is not -too- far off. I really like both the 4-6-2 and 4-4-2 versions of this loco, and, with some modeling "fine-tuning" skills applied, these locos could live on any Hi-Rail layout.

Another, lesser-known (I think) AF O "NYC Hudson" (if a Hudson was a 2-6-4). Previous owner's lettering. Really bizarre mix of pure Tinplate and scale-y modeling.
