Hi all,
When I got into Standard gauge this past few months, I have two Lionel engines and 6 two sets each of the American Flyer
Passenger Cars. So this morning I took out my vise and bent my own Adapter using a Lionel coupler. (see photo) it works really
good, I just like the way the AF Passenger Cars look, there not to big and not to small, just right.

Okay, now we just need you to come up with a 3-way adapter to include Ives and you'll have a pretty good business going. Either that or we can all revert back to hook and slot couplers for everything, and don't think i haven't been tempted.
Tin; Can we get a picture of it used on the car and engine? Thanks.
That would definitely be helpful. THANKS!
I cannot tell you how often i pick old string off couplers. Thats the old school way!
Looks pretty crafty!
I purchased a AF Flyer coupler for my 392E tender ground it down to fit in the Lionel slot and they change back and forth in under 30 seconds.
Hi all,
Here it is hooked up to my Lionel 318 and my American flyer passenger Car

Nice. You bent a 2nd Lionel coupler and slipped it inside the Flyer coupler very innovative.
Tinguy gets my vote for Standard Gauge innovation of the year. Bravo tinguy!! Simple yet functional.
Now I have more projects to do. Off to the Junk box I go. I know I have quite a few AF cars waiting resto; this modification bumps them up a few places.
