AF Train Master welcomes you to a web site which offers resources for those who have an interest in S Gauge toy trains, and most especially those which bear the American Flyer brand, manufactured either by A. C. Gilbert or, as is the case today, by Lionel. There are some references to other S Gauge manufacturers, notably S Helper and American Models, but the primary emphasis is on the American Flyer brand. Among the resources on this site is a growing collection of images of rolling stock which in time we propose to have accessible by thumbnails, by alphabetical listing, and by numerical listing. There are also some hints about repairing and restoring toy trains, primarily those manufactured by Gilbert in the immediate post World War Two era. We hope to offer a page of links to other significant resources on the web.
The following pages will take you to collections of images accessible via thumbnail images:
Boxcars manufactured by A. C. Gilbert
Boxcars manufactured by Lionel
Boxcars by other manufacturers
Cabooses
Engines
Flat Cars
Gondolas

Please bear with us as we develop this web site. We welcome your suggestions. If you have images you wish for us to add to our collection, you may email them to "jim (at) aftrainmaster (dot) com," along with a statement indicating that you are the owner of the image and that you are giving us your permission to publish the image to the web. Please be advised that our standard copyright gives permission to link to our pages, but not to copy the images without permission.
A note about us: John and Jim are brothers whose fascination with toy trains dates back many years. The first set of American Flyer toy trains arrived in our home during the very late 1940s, in the days of link style couplers. A Royal Blue and a 290 Pacific freight formed the nucleus of what over the years has become a wonderful hobby.
If you have questions, please feel free to contact the brothers: jim (at) aftrainmaster (dot) com, and/or john (at) aftraimaster (dot) com.
Thank you for visiting our site. We hope you find it enjoyable and useful!
