Offered for sale for the first time since new (70+ years) is this A.C. Gilbert Company American Flyer line of ‘S’ gauge toy train set. This originally belonged to my dad and then became my brother’s. All parts appear in good condition, and have been carefully stored indoors unused for about 50 years. The boxes have shelf/storage wear and the caboose box is damaged in the center side. The instruction book is dated 1949, so we figured this set was made that year or early 1950s. The mechanics of all the pieces have not been tested. As far as we know, the No. 290 Pacific class steam locomotive features a headlight and smoke generator. Also included is a 3-page article featuring toy trains that was pulled out of a magazine. 638 Caboose red with box 639 Box Car yellow with box 640 Hopper Car gray with box 700 Straight track set of 2 unboxed 702 Curved track set of 12 in box 290 Locomotive train with tender No 2 Transformer 690 Track terminal 706 Remote uncoupler Instruction Book dated 1949 Black wire loose I can meet or ship this Check out my other listings train, vintage, retro, mcm, mid-century, collectible, display, toy
