Book Reviews of Standard Catalog of American Flyer Trains
Book Review: Essential for AF train fan's
Summary: 5 Stars
I have just wandered into the American Flyer train tent after many years as a N/HO/O train collector/hobbyist (abet never very serious about it - I just like trains - big, small - I like them all) when I purchased an AF 310 engine at an auction. Always wanted some AF S-gauge and now I had a start. But now I needed to know a bit about the AF train 'empire' - the models, their time chronology, etc.
One of the keys to acquiring this kind of is a good reference book that covers the entire spread of AF train products. This book is such a reference book. It is a very good basis for building one's knowledge base and, so far, it has delivered in spades.
Bottom line: an excellent reference book for American Flyer trains. Highly recommended.
Summary of Standard Catalog of American Flyer Trains
Highly sought-after model of trains, second only to Lionel, by 30,000+ collectors who attend the largest train show in the U.S., held twice a year in Pennsylvania.Is the ONLY full-color guide on the subject, serving the needs of toy train collectors who rely on detailed color photos to accurately identify trains.
A bargain buy when first introduced as "Chicago Flyer," American Flyer trains rose to premier toy train status in the last half of the 20th century, and maintain the second spot today! The company's claim to fame, the S gauge train, is supported by the wide gauge and prewar HO and O gauge trains, in collector popularity, and this one-of-a-kind guide covers all three groups in extensive detail. The most comprehensive overview of the American Flyer line, this book follows the winning format of the Standard Catalog line of toy train references.
