Here is a new video !!
It's a 1218 American Flyer locomotive. 0 gauge.
This model had a lot of different colors (green,orange,...) and I decided to make a full black finish.
It was in very bad shape, pretty much rusted, not tested before being restored.
Please watch till the end to see this rare electric locomotive in action !
By supporting the channel you help me make more of these video and find more amazing items.
I hope you'll enjoy this restoration.
Thanks a lot for watching !

Wow, wow, wow! Who needs Netflix when I can binge these absolutely amazing videos. (1) The craftsmanship is second to none; (2) the attention to absolute detail is second to none; (3) and we cannot overlook the videoraphy, text narration and screenplay, which even includes silent humor. I have no words. Just beautiful work and productions. Thank you for sharing this.

I'm a collector of antique trains, and these 100-year-old tinplate American Flyer trains actually have some value. However, despite the amazing job you did on this, I can't help but think that its actually lost some value by being restored like this. I mean, I'd still pay top dollar for it, but I'm sure others would argue it. Great job none the less.
