Original Gilbert American Flyer Bodies
Custom Painted with New Roadnames
Ready to run with your choice of trucks
|
|
 NOTICE:
5 Newly Decorated
American Flyer Cars Now Available.
|
| We
have custom painted and printed original American Flyer bodies that we obtained
directly from the A.C. Gilbert factory in New Haven Connecticut when it
closed.
NEW SERIES OF CABOOSES
Gilbert produced Locos in a variety of road names...but they did not issue
cabooses in matching road names. So.... Hobby Surplus is taking original Gilbert caboose bodies and
producing a series of standard A.F. cabooses in road names to match each
of the Locos A.C. Gilbert produced. Each body is painted
in prototypical colors with authentic heralds and markings. We are
using a state of the art production facility. The graphics are so
crisp and clear that even the tiny markings on the car ends are legible.
