American Flyer: Fun With Fiber Pins #4, Spectacular Two-Train Operation

Here in episode #4 I continue the examination of how one fiber pin and a switch track can provide tons of operating fun on your American Flyer layout. I incorporate a #709 lock out eliminator and AC and DC locomotives to demonstrate the operational realism of what the factory was trying to do in the early post-war period. It’s not DCC, but it’s AC/DC and a lot of fun can be had with some 1950’s technology.
In my next videos I’ll expand the fiber pin operations by adding more operational uses and accessories to my demonstration layout.

Most importantly. Have fun with your American Flyer Trains!
