I see your guys's channel is into real estate. Yeah this American Flyer engine I've had for a while she runs really good she puffs a lot of smoke she's better than the Tyco engine sometimes

There were 3 screws holding it together underneath the boiler. And the sprass smokestack on screws apart. So there are quite a bit of screws on that locomotive I do know of.

Well if it's like an oil base it should work just fine on the steam engine it should be like smoke fluid

The only thing if I were you. I would get LaBelle oil and get LaBelle grease for the gears and if you can would be a LaBelle number 8 oil. And put the grease around the main gear cuz that will Lube up the axial rod and everything up.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. I bought the locomotive un-tested on ebay for a good price. It looks good and the motor moves freely by hand but I wanted lubricate anything that can be lubricated before I test it.

@@robertmuck8759 if you ever post a video on KZfaq I'd like to see it running it would be nice

Well, it runs good with the wheels off the ground but on the track the motor is too weak I'll see if I can fit replacement magnets in the motor. Video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a76fpM2fzM-yhok.html

You have a prewar flyer switcher? I'm pretty sure the switchers were only O scale, might be wrong, and the O scale switchers are very hard to get, because they were made out of bad metal which makes them very rarely in any usable state unless a complete rebuild is done.

I know for a fact I do have the switch engine version. There were some O scale engines made by American Flyer but they weren't switchers they were to switch engines I've seen in photographs but they didn't have smoked in it. I know the S gauge American Flyer locomotives have the smoke units the older ones did now one of the new engines were built in the late forties there were no smoking it's in them yet that was later till 19th ink 49. I know a lot of the older ones was smoking it started coming in till nineteen-forties. I think I'm correct on that for sure but I am going to be doing a video someday in the future of the American Flyer switch engine

Jack Abercrombie I put four to five drops in it not much just enough to keep the wick a little bit soaked and not enough to not the kill it the smoke you then. I got a few switch engines which are the same way also

Jack Abercrombie oh one more thing if you got an air bubble inside that funnel make sure the blow into it so it gives a clear air flow for the smoke to come out I did that to several my engines I got a DCC cab-forward made by Broadway limited and I have to do the same thing to that engine so it doesn't have an air bubble in it and boy does that put a lot of smoke out to

Jack Abercrombie and I also subscribe to our KZfaq channel

Jack Abercrombie well inside the front of the locomotive is a plastic thing right there it's in that compartment under the locomotive. It's hard to explain because I did it to an S gauge American Flyer and replaced one I might have to do a video showing what it looks like around the smoking it because I might have one around as parts to show it.
