I recently bought this Flyer M1005. It was not running so naturally I took it apart. Needless
to say the brush springs went flying when I removed the brush plate. Finally got the right brushes
and springs from Jeff Kane at Train Tender today. I ordered 8 springs, good thing because two
headed into space while I was trying to put it back together. Got it running so I put the body back on.
Put it on the track and the first curve it came to it derailed. My outside loop is 034 so most everything
runs ok. Looked at it, two weights inside the cab were stopping the motor from turning. Took it apart again
and removed them, put it back on the track and it would not move. The bizarre AF reversing unit had moved.
Took it apart again, wired the arm of the reversing unit in forward, put the body back on and ran it finally.
Added a coach and observation hoping to show you a video. Wrong. The cars derailed even on the straights.
And the observation started shorting out. I cannot imagine a child receiving one of these sets in the
30's and setting it up on the carpet under the tree. I gave up, so no video.
