Description: This one offers a set of 2 Gilbert American Flyer 3/16" O gauge 496 and 497 passenger cars in red. This is a very nice pairing of cars. Both cars have 'American Flyer Lines' identifying decals on both ends of both sides. Additionally, neither of these cars are illuminated which is a bit of a neat oddity. There are no power pickups on either car, nor are there lamp sockets. There also aren't any paint scrapes on the cutouts for the lamp sockets. While these were upper end cars, examples with both no 496/497 decals and no illumination have been reported and these cars check both boxes. The 496 is missing two journal boxes. The coupler, while original, has been re-pinned and the pin feels a little loose. It is also a dark colored pin while the rest of the coupler pins are silver in color. The 497 is missing one journal box. Please note that the picture of the tops of the cars are showing reflection from my lighting. TCA #97-45581.
