Title: Gabe The Lamplighter American Flyer 23780
Post by: Terry on April 11, 2021, 01:24:04 PM

I bought a box of American Flyer trains yesterday because this was sticking out of it. A rare accessory that doesn't get much interest today because established collectors all have one, and there are plenty of reproductions out there for operators.

A neat S gauge accessory where Gabe climbs the ladder to check the bulbs. There is a motor in the shack and a string to pull him up. My S gauge friend said this always has the red roof on the shack.

 

 

 

 

I have a bunch of S gauge for a layout someday, but one of my rules with the S is only items from the wild are eligible so this will go into my trade stocks.
