boy that is one mangled remnant.  ^^^

 

here is a close-up of the pantograph...

 

No.7-pant

i measured it with calipers this morning and the material is 0.05" steel.  with the bottom piece slightly curved to match the roof contour, the single rivet really holds it on solidly.

 

not sure if i'm using the right term here, but these small Flyer motors had a very crude pallet-type governor.  to adjust the speed, you are better off putting a heavier load behind the loco, not fully winding the spring or the best solution to have access to a layout with wider radius curves.  i know what you mean, though, with a well maintained/ oiled motor, this very light loco is quite a speedy little guy.

 

cheers...gary
