Another Flyer President on the rails

Nice work Steve! Thanks especially for the close up photos of the pilot trucks. The handrails appear to be the same as a part (s) several of us here in Lancaster have been trying to ID.

Steve,

Thanks for sharing another project. I get great joy bringing trains like this back to life and even more so in then running them. Looks great, have fun with it!

I seem to remember that many years ago someone came out with a truck kit to make a Lionel #8 look like The AF President engine. Does anyone else remember this? Has anyone seen them around?

Looks Great!!!

I've seen a few 8's with pilots, but just assumed they were home brews.

     There is a book that has reprinted some of the articles from "Model Builder" magazine and had an article on how to modify your #8 to resemble the AF loco.
