Of all the toys a boy could want, a Gilbert American Flyer train has always been high on the list. Gilbert's American Flyer two-rail trains looked real, featured smoke and choo-choo, horns and whistles, operating lights, realistic-looking couplers and bright paint schemes that matched prototype railroads. Gilbert made complete passenger trains- from baggage cars to observation cars -- to freights with coal hoppers, tank cars, flat cars with loads and colourful box cars, to accessories such as coal loaders, talking stations and revolving aeroplane beacons. Climb aboard as we discover these fascinating trains that were made between 1946 and 1966, and which have provided a long-lasting legacy from The A C Gilbert Company.

Gilbert's Famous American Flyer Trains,

This review is from: Gilbert's Famous American Flyer Trains (Hardcover)
This is a great overview of the A.C. Gilbert period of manufacturing American Flyer toy trains in S Gauge. This is a real "page-turner" for the collector and operator of AF trains. It is bound to be a "classic" in the true sense of the word! Gilbert American Flyer fans, buy this book! Thanks for a collector's well-researched book well-done, Pastor Nelson! (No, I am no relation to the author!!!) (-;

This review is from: Gilbert's Famous American Flyer Trains (Hardcover)
Reverend Nelson is a thurough and knowledgeable researcher. The history of each special car, accessory or locomotive type is well documented and shows progressive changes year by year and thru catalogue number change (i.e., 600 to 900 to 5-digit for rolling stock).
