MyFlyerTrains - Side Tracks!

July 15 - Sprawl has set in at MyFlyerTrains, so you will find pieces of the web site hosted in different places, some with banners, some without. This method permits me to continue to bring you the content you want. Thanks for your support! Chuck...

July 14 - Lionel has announced a new die cast metal Mikado 2-8-2 steam engine. This may be the biggest news since Gilbert made the original molds for their die cast engines in the late 1930s!

 

July 13 - Now online, the catalog D1517 1948 HO. Thanks to Paul Barber for this one!

July 13 - Now online, the 1955 catalog D1782. This catalog was actually physically mailed to me by Tom Wiersma of South Africa, so I could scan it and share it with the world!  

The outside cover posted is from a similar D1800 catalog owned by John Huster, who will be forwarding scans of that catalog in the future. My thanks to both Tom and John for their contributions!

 

Web site viewing tip...

If the catalog Gilbert pictures are too big on your screen for good viewing, you may wish to download the Opera web browser, which allows you to resize incrementally a web page on the fly, making viewing of the catalogs very easy.  And best of all, you can get and use it for free! 

You have made  MyFlyerTrains a popular destination. I wish to thank you for that! I am also grateful to the several people who have contributed catalog content. That support has really helped me grow the site! Thanks, Chuck
