Prewar style layout (circa 2001) on which both 0 and Std. gauge were operated. A 1940 prewar 3/16" scale Gilbert American Flyer freight headed by a NYC J3a Hudson and a passenger with Tuscan die-cast heavyweights headed by a UP 800 series Northern are ready to roll.

Various AF steam engines and sets from the 1940s and 50s. The '53 Trail Blazer set (Row 7) is a personal favorite. There are also a couple of rows of AF prewar 0 on lower rows. My very first train set is the 1949 No. 4901T Atlantic freight set on the top row.
