Anybody here know what size O-ring that'll fit the 0-6-0's? I made a order at RFG Co's website for a pair a month ago and still haven't showed up!

I'd check with RFG and find out what the holdup's about. You can also use the small size Goody hairbands that are available in most Walmarts.

Good news y'all, I found Number 7 O-Rings work.Haven't had any luck with RFG Co. Nelson. Gotta find a more reliable/cheaper place for the American Flyer parts for my #283 4-6-2.

They're a little rare. It was given to me. My friend at first wanted it repaired, then gave it to me! Not much of a fan, but, too cool to sell right now!

I picked up one of these recently for $28.00 at an online auction site. The tires were so rotten one cracked and fell of after one lap on my layout. What I did was use some extra Marklin traction tires that I had. These are small diamater as used on the Marklin #3000 locomotive. They are not an exact replacment but work well. Between the two tires and being all diecast this loco can really pull.

Justin, I didn't know you were talking about the S scale version. You don't see them very often. That's a pretty good friend!

Nope, the 0-6-0 is HO and wish it was S! My #283 4-6-2 is S scale. Its a resto in progress.
