What have I bought

The 6 wheel motor is a little later than 1666, more likely a 2025 or 675 from 1952 if no magna-traction or something like a late 2026 2036 or 2037.  1666 was usually nickel rimmed and had slider pickups.  I suppose that second motor might have come out of a 1684 if the front bracket is taken into account.  There are more than a few possibilities.  You could compare the boiler fronts to an American Flyer 342 0-8-0.  Nice parts and worth the money you spent IMO.

I agree with Dennis, and that pilot truck with the crosshead guides looks like maybe from a 259E type locomotive.

I'm asking about that motor because I'm pretty sure it cannot be a 259E.  I have both early and late versions of the 259E.  On both of them, the light is on the motor and the pilot truck and crosshead guides are attached to the cylinder stamping.

I'd say a 1684 then.

American Flyer S gauge 0-8-0 boiler front:

The 6 wheel motor is from a 1952 2026. The 2 boiler fronts and lamp socket and reverse unit already identified as an American Flyer 0-8-0. The 4 wheel motor is from a 1688 loco. Those are not the correct rods attached to the motor. It looks like the rods, and front and trailing truck are from a 1684.

Thanks Chuck and Paul.  Now I'll have to find a 1684 to look at.  I'll be watching for that at the four shows I'm going to between now and december.

The 6 wheel drive motor is Lionel Post War from a 2026 or 2037 type loco as the drive wheels are smaller than those used on 675 or 2025's. The 4 wheel drive loco is also Lionel Post War from one of their higher end basic loco's. The reverse unit is Post War American Flyer. The lead and trail trucks are Lionel Pre War and fit a variety of later locos. The boiler fronts look like beat up American Flyer Post War S Gauge 0-8-0 pieces. Would need better photos of both sides to know for sure.
