AMERICAN FLYER DISPLAY LAYOUT
I know there is an expert in the group who can identify the GILBERT MODEL NUMBER #??? and the year this was made.
This was a display in a Western Auto Store? I am told, on Main Street in Hendersonville, NC. The man that played with this donated it to our club for use or selling as a fund raising. His father bought it from the store. It even has four 2x2 x 16 inches spacers with 5/8 inch dowels on each end that allowed the layout tops to face each other for freight shipping. The dowels fit into holes in the corners of the layout tops. I have seen a web sight that shows the different display layouts but I can¡¯t remember how to find it?!?! The donator said he would give me all the information the best he can remember. This has been sitting in a basement for many years. Parts are missing. The best home for this layout would be someone who would like to restore for AMERICAN FLYER history?!?!?! The donator would also like to see this happen!! He sold the rolling stock and engines to one person, who is in the business of train buying and selling. The house that this has been in is having contents auctioned and house to be sold. There is still a lot of stuff that must be removed in the near future. Thanks for any info Roger ????? |
Not sure this will help you much, but

Check this out...........from 1955. And this should probably move off-list. I know we're not supposed to be discussing AF on this list.

If you do move off list, why not go to the S-trains list so AF and hi-rail people would see the continuing discussion. Thanks Rance Velapoldi? (Tranby, Norway) On 9/6/2018 03:57 AM, Roger Haag wrote:
