Description: A C Gilbert American Flyer “The Meteor” boxed train set. Mfg. in 1954 by the A C Gilbert Co.here in New Haven, Ct. I purchased in late 1990,s to start a American Flyer collection. I completely disassembled engine and cleaned out every bit of old grease and residue as seen in last picture of drive gear. I replaced brushes and brush springs . ,Set was stored away in dry smoke free home. Everything seen in pictures is included in set. If not in photos , it did not come in set when I purchased . It’s just the way I received. Set looks to be in very nice condition. I do notice a bit of pull more drive wheel rubber worn on the AF 293 Steam engine as seen in bottom of engine pictures, on 1 drive wheel . Strong box, Set number on box is weak but legible as seen in picture 1 . I just lubed engine to test, runs forward and reverse. Smoke, choo-choo , headlamp and red glow smoke stack working fine. Car boxes, all clearly labeled and numbered and in nice condition. 2 of boxes backs are taped. All fronts have flaps . Also transformer cord end was replaced at some point . Also included but not in pictures a 690 track connector. PLEASE NOTE, (White instruction booklet and A F catalog not included, shown only for reference). Original yellow instruction manual is part of set .Please view all pictures and email with any questions. Thank you. (1) 293 Engine and tender.
