An American Flyer Layout By Martin Lukatch
   It is really fun to see these guys getting their flyer stuff out and putting together layouts. I'm sending you a few photos so you can see what I been up to. This is really my first "major attempt"  to make a S-Gauge layout.  Article & Pictures

A "Retro" American Flyer Layout by Randy Thompson
    Recently, I read the article on Tom Miller’s layout in the S Gaugian magazine and a friend Mark from the TCA gave me a copy of the Tom Miller video. His layout style presented a simple solution as to how I could get my American Flyer accessories and equipment I have been collecting out of the storage boxes and on display.  Article & Pictures

An American Flyer Layout by Brian Snook
  
   I have been collecting American Flyer for the past couple of years. It originally started when I was given my Grandfathers American Flyer Trains at the age of five. They didn't work back then and I didn't do much with them until a few years ago. I am now building a large layout.

Members, We would like to feature your layouts here...
   We are always looking for pictures of member's current or early American Flyer layouts (with captions and/or articles) to post on the website.
   Any layout is fun and there are many kinds of American Flyer layouts from the very basic tracks around the Christmas tree to the largest, most complete and complex layouts. We would like to see them all.


The above illustration is from the top of the box for the number 720 Switches. It shows the 644 Crane car, 585 Tool Shed, 596 Water Tower, 761 Semaphore and the 593 Signal Tower.
