My family set up Lionel trains under the Christmas
tree in the 30s and 40s and put them away on
New Years Day. As an aspiring young architect,
I was interested in the scale look of buildings and
trains so in 1952 I bought my first Gilbert 0-8-0
switcher set from my Uncle Bud Sattler in
Westmont, NJ. When I went to college in 1959, I
packed the trains in a trunk for the next 30 years.
When I set them up in 1989 as a Flyer layout, I
wasn't satisfied with the look so I choose my
childhood environs (Stony Creek Branchline of
the Reading Railroad) as the prototype and started
to model buildings and scenery using gargraves
track and Gilbert trains. Today I have over 80 pieces
of original Gilbert American Flyer engines and rolling
stock.
