  • In the late 1930s, American Flyer was making 2 rail HO, 3 rail O gauge, & 3 rail Wide ( or Standard Gauge ) trains. Perhaps they chose S gauge after the war so they could make scale-sized trains that could run on an oval on a 4' X 8' foot plywood sheet. American Flyer did make 3/16 " scale trains that ran on O gauge track in the late 1930s & perhaps wanted to bring the track gauge into 3/16" scale as well when they resumed production after WW2.

  • @Petemonster62 Great info. Thanks for the input!

  • i think that lionel is better then amarican flyer and that is animal curlity because the cat could have been hurt

  • I'm a lionel postwar guy but I'm really starting to get interested in AF trains. They are so COOL!!! I might have to get me some someday.

  • The cat was like bring it bitch lol

  • Great innocent advert.

  • Great video and story ;-)

  • i too realy think lionel was better and had alittle to offer then american flyer did american flyer down fall was thay put most of there time and intterest into S gauge trains sets thay had some o gauge trains but not many ro pick from if thay had gone with o gauge fulltime like lionel did i think thay would have lasted longer or evern still be up and running today? pepole fight about what train outfit was better back then i think there all made better then most of whats being sold today right!

  • My dad bought my oldest brother one of these trains back in 1953. I wasn't even born yet and we had that train for years.
