Hi,

I am new to the forum and am interested in AF Post War steam locos and cars.

I have a AF 326 Hudson SIT and a few cars I was given back in 1950,s and am looking to get going again for my grandsons.

Looking forward to learning new things!

Thanks,

Skip,

You have come to the right place, welcome to the forum! 

There is endless reading here about layouts, track, fixing locomotives and about everything else to do with O and S gauge trains.

Skip,

Welcome to the Forum!  There are a lot of knowledgeable Flyer people on board.  Just post any question and I'm sure you will get responses.  I too had flyer and really liked them.  The problem I had is I tried to expand them at a time when there were not any flyer sources available.  Or maybe I just wasn't looking in the right places.

Stop by the Coffee Pot as well, a good bunch of guys and it won't take long and you will be at home.

Regards,

Don
