FLYERVILLE
42 WORDS

  1. At the (WOOD) No. 270, citizens of (FLYERVILLE) could buy (FRANKFURTERS) at the combined (REFRESHMENT) stand and (NEWSSTAND) to munch on while reading papers and magazines.
  2. The No. 271 (WHISTLE-STOP) (SET) added a (WAITING) station to two separate (STANDS) that sold the same items as those of the No. 270.
  3. Also featuring a news butch, the No. 272 (GLENDALE) (STATION) was an open-air (PLATFORM) and is similar to the No. 273 (SUBURBAN) model.
  4. The (HARBOR) (JUNCTION) Freight Station featured an overhead (HOIST) and miniature (SCALES) for the simulated movement and weighing of cargo.
  5. The (COLA) emblems may have beckoned many a (DINER) to stop at the (EUREKA) for a bite before retiring at the No. 168 (HOTEL).
  6. In 1953 the No. 167 (TOWN-HALL) was described as the place “where selectmen meet”.  Maybe the No. 164 (RED) (BARN) was where Flyerville’s select (COWS) met?
  7. “With it’s simulated stained glass windows”, the copywriter said, the No. 166 (CHURCH) “is a fine example of minute craftsmanship”.
  8. Kids living in Flyerville’s (BUNGALOWS), like the No. 161, no doubt were playing with Erector and (MYSTOMAGIC) sets made at the No. 162 factory.  Or maybe they preferred watching the No. 789 (BAGGAGE) (SMASHER) damage luggage or listening to the No. 566 (WHISTLING) (BILLBOARD) that had an illustration of a Santa Fe Alco PA on it.
  9. The No. 165 (GRAIN) (ELEVATOR) was the tallest Flyerville structure and neither Lionel or Bachmann Brothers made anything like it.
  10. The 1953 catalog priced the small No. 50 (DISTRICT) (SCHOOL) at $2.95 while the No. 593 (SIGNAL) (TOWER), “The nerve center of every train yard”, cost $3 more.
  11. The No. 767 (BRANFORD) Diner had hinged (DOORS) and a TV antenna.
  12. Perhaps Gilbert’s last great innovation, the All Aboard (SCENIC) (PANEL) sets made layout building easy and enjoyable for everyone.
