I have an American Flyer 4684 engine that has been handed down a couple of generations. I am looking for a part for the engine. I need the track contact piece with the barrell shaped contacts mounted to it. Any help finding this would be appreciated.

Ted,

I believe that it is S gauge, but I am not sure. There are three rails on the track and it is fairly wide for compared to other trains and track that I have seen. Should I measure the track width to verify? Thanks.

Pat: measure the track gauge (distance from one rail to the other). If it's 7/8" it's S gauge; if 1 1/4", it's O gauge.
3 rails makes me think O gauge. I don't think they made 3-rail in S. That puts it at pre-World War II.

It sounds like prewwII to me. I think American Flyer went over to "S" gauge after the war. I doubt if any parts are available for your specific locomotive, but I wonder if Lionel rollers or Mike's Train House rollers would fit or could be made to fit?
