You are looking at one of those additions to your American Flyer collection that you always wanted.
The car was first offered in the late 1950s and last in 1966. It is the ever popular track cleaning car.
As it moves down the track the wipers underneath clean the grime off the tops of the rails. This cleaning car features metal trucks, knuckle couplers, plastic wheels and metal axles.
This is an interesting one. It is the 1953-56 version with knuckle couplers.

With a COPY of instructions
CONDITION: C-7-/ C-6+ excellent condition. With a copy of original instructions (not pictured). Some paint rubs and some age and wear to the tank. Some handling fade and light wear to printing, most noticeably to the S of Service on one side. But really a nicer specimen than most.
