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!!!) (-;

the book was very informative both on the history of the a.c.gilbert co. and the american flyer line of trains thu out the company's brief history. the various color and black/white pictures were terrific. the author had many sources and used them well. thanks. bob

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).

I agree with Dr. Ralph. A 'must have' for any American Flyer lover!
I've had mine for a few years now.

My Husband is enjoying the book - about the American Flyer Trains -He has a Train Layout of Lionel Trains from 1940's

Thank you
