American Flyer Online Museum Collection?

Classic Toy Trains Forum
1

About 6 months ago I was trolling the internet and found a gentleman’s website where he listed every piece of equipment American Flyer ever made. I would love to locate that website again, but none of the usual search terms in google have worked. It not only listed each item, but it also showed a picture of each item. I for one was surprised because I thought that AF made more items then they did, especially when it came to diesel engines.

I am not interested in value of the pieces; instead, I just want to see again what was available. I know I can purchase a collector’s guide or something, (and there is a 30-page posting on here that I have to go through), but I wondered if anyone else knew what that website was.

Thanks.

I think you might mean Bob Graves’ The Gilbert Gallery which you can find at http://www.geocities.com/theupstairstrain/trains.html

This is a great site with lots of interesting items. It doesn’t list all the variations, but it is easily accessed.Whenever I read something about an item # that is unfamiliar, I look it up on this site.

David Doyle’s book standard catalog of American Flyer Trains has the American Flyer O S and HO items, and accesories, pictures and vairations, years made andother interesting data. It is a good book and I reference it a lot.
