Way to go John! Congratulations, beautiful, operating piece for your collection and layout, thank you for stepping us through the process and steps, Dave
nice job restoring your american flyer log loader! pretty cool! i think all the lionel prewar, postwar and mpc engines, cars and lionel accessories can be restored by krylon spray paint!
Bama Dave hello! The older coaling tower and a few other accessories did have the Bakelite roof, Gilbert used several interchangeable parts and included several crossover mechanisms with Erector (just makes sense from a cost perspective). If you look at the next video, I repaired the broken roof, and while it didn’t come out perfect, it did look better than the mess I received in the mail! Thank you for your question!
I tried what you said I think that was it so on my bench I hooked up black wire to power and yellow to accceries wheel went around and stopped but if I power the red wire it will keep going. And I noticed your soliniad location is different from mine is on bottom . Al
Yes, very well done!

Thank you! The paints don’t match exactly, but they’re close enough for me!
Great job looks nice- what about the bakelite roof- is there a similar sized accessory to replace a cracked or broken roof?
