I had a gentleman bring me a standard gauge AF Flying Colonial train in poor condition, paint on the cars was redone with a brush years ago, seveal trim pieces are missing but the biggest issue is all the pilot wheels, 4 on each end truck of the locomotive, along with the main drive wheels are totaly gone from zincpest. He brought it to me 2 years ago, I have been unable to find pilot wheels or any of the trim pieces to any success. I can find the drive wheels but not much else. I have tried to contact him several times recently with no return calls or contact. I am about ready to call the train set abandon and take possession. Either way, for him or me, I would like to get the set restored to operation. Anybody here good with AF standard gauge trains? Mike
