- Sit down and enjoy a view at a West Plains Model Railroad Club member's private S-gauge layout. There is much to see and even more to be seen twice. In less than 10 minutes you will see rare Flyer trains and accessories and get a chance to go back in time with classic American Flyer train operations. "All aboard! American Flyer through train..."
I'm purely a postwar Lionel guy, but must salute you American Flyer guys for your great trains and accessories. Fun is fun, regardless of the brand.
This is one of the most realistic "S" scale layouts I have seen. Love to see the New Have EP5
One of the best layouts I've seen. Immaculate roadbed and integrated accessories. The mix of AF and American Models freight cars seems seamless.
Great job guys from one who traveled the high plains from Colorado to Pennsylvania in the 80's when I visited the home folks near Pittsburgh. I wish I was back out west.
Nothing can replace that wonderful Flyer choo0choo sound.
Absolutely loved this video. Everything! Scenery, trees are well done! Accessories, train operation are great fun. Great layout with city and rural areas really create a wonderful layout. Coal train reverse move was terrific, try that in HO! Great job all around!!!
Thanks for sharing this video of your outstanding layout, Merry Christmas!!
Beautiful long AF freight train!
Great to see the collection of working accessories...brings back memories. Newer track looks great.
Very realistic 2 rail track
The colorful autumn scenery is tops...love the accessories just a great layout nice job ........
Great layout!
It is a great layout by far.
Excellent display, using the BEST trains ever made…American Flyer! 🚂
Post War Lionel guy here giving praise to your awesome work. Cinematography was perfect as well. Hot stuff. The saw mill magic was great
well done. great attention to detail. thank you for showing us your layout
Nice 8 cars or more is like the Gilbert catalogs!
Nicely done video! Really nice job on scenery.
This video is making me want to start a flyer layout some day for somebody that dose Ho
i just bought my first american flyer train
Beautiful layout, really like the industrial oil derrick and water tower area, appreciate your work and expertise to preserve these great AC Gilbert American Flyer trains! DavesAFTrains
Beautiful layout and great action!
Well done! What an awesome layout and trains
Nice American Flyer operations
I got to say that is a good video a lot of detail and some cool trains
Really cool layout. Nice video.
Best close up of 336 and Gilbert catalog type consist too! Never have seen the 977 that close up running with the man showing like that. I will watch this video every time I think of it!
Glad you like it! So far, you are the first person to notice the consist. :)
@@westplainsmodelrrclub110 I am extra detail oriented. Like when buy a so called clean car, I can spend 2 hours cleaning it to factory clean. That 336 , 977 consist is like the Gilbert 1956 and 1957 cataloged consists. Many collectors don't even notice a lot things changed in 1957 like 3 diget cars came in 5 diget Red, White, black boxes! Wheel rims and couplers changed too! Not to mention metal frame types in box cars, metal to plastic frames in tank cars. Some mixed up types in 1957 especially. That is why American flyer trains are so much fun. No other make of train looked as sleek and realistic as American flyer trains. 1957 Cat. Cover says the most realistic model trains ever made! Other S gauge trains are just plain boring to me and don't care for scale S either tho it is very nice. Your AF layout is one of the very best I have ever seen. An hour lond DVD should be made of it for us American flyer fanatics. Thank You!
Nice!
Oh and the mail car is the best
Awesome
Thanks but I like lionel trains the best
Awesome video!
Wicked good layout. You can tell a lot of time was spent building this! Could you tell what the #'s of the trains were please.
At realistic speeds too, some people run their trains at warp factor 7.
Flyer is supposed to be the “realistic” toy train. So that is the only way 😆
The caboose doesn't look like the newer AF but maybe it is. Anything not American flyer by Gilbert and Lionel, I will never own. Great layout and the best consist I have seen since watching Carl4flyer amazing layouts. Your eye level shots are the best close ups I have ever seen. Please video lots more. I do not have a layout nor room for one. Not allowed to build anything in an Apt. Wall are thin and not strong enough to hold more than a painting!
IS it possible to see an 'aerial' view of this fine layout?
Can you get in touch with TM and get a DvD made for us? Another company did one on Tom Millers American flyer layout in Portland, Oregon. A really good one I watch over and over again. Thank you for all that you do.
Hadn't considered that before. I will have to toss the idea out to the owner.
🙂👍☕
Could you do a layout tour
What do you have in mind? This video covers just about everything.
@@westplainsmodelrrclub110 i was kinda hoping for a wide shot were you can see the size of the layout
We could do that at some point. The remainder of the room needs some work before we do something like that ;)
I just bought a 44046 SF Reefer. I am closed minded on Lionels new modern stuff like those ugly cylindrical hoppers, aquarium cars, auto carrier cars, waffle box cars Yuk! That stuff is not American flyer so named, It is strictly O gauge! Lionel did a great job making the new Reefers. All the ones so far are colorful and definitely earned the Gilbert name. No other S gauge Reefers come anywhere close. Better paint and detail and not cheap and fragile like the other S gauge stuff. That scale stuff is cheap looking and the truck and wheels are junky too. Maybe you can get some of those beautiful new AF Reefers. I think you will agree with me.
What is the track? Beautiful layout.
Thank you. I believe it is brass Gargraves track
It appears to be American Models code 148 track. The rail height is about as low as you can use with hirail flanges, so it looks really nice. Same track I used on my layout.
@@turdferguson4124 I think the American Models track looks really nice. This pike is lovely.
@@turdferguson4124 You may be correct, you probably know better than I. :)
Nice trackwork minus the original and ugly AC Gilbert switch machines.
They would look better if they weren't going 100mph. The photography isn't steady either.
Great layout!
