Here is an interesting one! This is a Torpedo style steam locomotive shell for your prewar American Flyer. As you can see, it is in rough shape but looks structurally good, so you have a good foundation for restoration if you decide to go that route.
This one has started life as a Type 11 steam locomotive 0-4-2 from the 1930s. It is approximately 9.5" long. In 1936, this first Type 11 streamlined Torpedo locomotive was made as a 0-4-2 and the shell for this model was black. It has NO catalog number, so collectors just call it by its set number (1710). In the next year, Flyer made it a 2-4-4 and the shell was now gray. Although it is the original scarcer black shell, of course, you can repaint it anything you want!
You can see it also has one of the original American Flyer weights mounted inside (WO 6027).
CONDITION: Rough shell, but all here with the parts that you see. Ready for you to use as parts or to restore to its 1936 glory. What you see is what we have. Shell and some of the trim you see only. Pictures show it all.
