27 THE AMERICAN FLYER CARS: A.C. GILBERT'S AF CARS IN 12" TO THE FOOT SCALE by Carl R. Byron
Although many toy trains have been modeled after specific pro- . totypes, only one prototype car has become so identified with its toy counterpart that it actually inherited its name: the pre-WWII "American Flyer" cars built by Osgood-Bradley of Worcester, Massachusetts. Carl examines the construction, history and use of these 50-ton lightweight passenger cars on seven railroad lines and shares 11 pages of color and black and white photos and drawings of these historic cars.

24 HI-RAIL AND SCALE MEET ON THE AROOSTOOK AND ROANOKE VALLEY RR by Ron Mistretta
Ron's S scale dream of combining American Flyer equipment with a scale model layout is nearing completion on his Roanoke Valley Depot pike, home of the fictitious Aroostook and Roanoke Valley RR. Unique scenery and structures include a 10-foot mountain range and a harbor with scratchbuilt pier. A homemade six-tone train whistle announces to the neighborhood that the A&RV is fired up and ready to go.
38 PAGE FROM THE PAST by Don Heimburger
It's fun to look through old model railroad magazines, and those from the year 1947 are no exception. S scale was scarce in those days, but inexpensive; some of the post-war prices revealed here will make S gaugers nostalgic for the good old days.
39 A LAYOUT A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY by Dave Pool and Bob Mitchell
Four Connecticut S gaugers recently met at the home of Henry Roos to assemble his newly purchased S scale layout in a day. See how teamwork can make a big job easy and fun with club members' collective expertise.
