Well.............where should I start? <br /> <br />I am not sure if I am in the right dept. as I just signed up about 15 min ago and do not know my way around the site. <br /> <br />As I write I am 73 years old and have saved my American Flyer train that I got for Christmas in 1938, plus still have a photograph sitting under the tree with my train. <br /> <br />Also still have the boxes they came in, although the ends of the boxes are in very poor condition and most of the ends have come off the box. <br /> <br />I am curious as to the value of the train, and thought you might shed some light on its value. <br />The numbers of the cars were printed on the box end flaps and as most of the end flaps are gone there are three cars that I don't have the numbers too, but I do have the numbers to the locomotive and three other cars. <br /> <br />The Locomotive has a number of 420 <br />The coal car.........no # <br />The Auto car is #3015 And I don't understand what "Auto car" means. "Note below" <br />The Box car ........no # <br />The caboose is #3017 <br />The tanker............no # <br />The Dump car is #3019 <br /> <br /> <br /> this train even though it was purchased in 1938 is in "O" gage. [three rails] <br /> <br /> <br />OH Sick <br />ubd896@hotmail.com <br />
