Re: Unique Southern Pacific AC-5 Cab Forward 4-8-8-2 for sale

Re: It's Official: No More Flyer
Not everything Lionel/Flyer made was toylike.? Pacific's, Mikado's, Challengers, Y3's, U33/36C's, SD70's and ES44's come to mind.? While some aren't easily converted to scale wheels, they are far

Re: Converting an AF Royal Blue to scale
