Topping up the tanks

I have an extensive collection of American Flyer trains, made by A.C. Gilbert about the same time that Dinky's were in existence. I used to have quite a few of them out on a table I had made, but years ago that space lost out and they have been wrapped in storage for many years. I got the idea of taking some of them out and displaying with my Dinky's. Many of the Dinky's are too large of scale, but some work quite well. Here are a few shots I took today...........I now need to acquire some simulated loads and cargo to better complete scenes...........Terry some trucks have arrived to help with freight

the Mechanical Horses come in handy for smaller loads

and we have passengers departing!

Very nice Terry ! You gave me some ideas ! I have to find where are my Hornby trains and stations ! and then I will shoot ! Cheers Richard

Thanks Richard....it was fun to dig out the old trains and play with them a bit. Something about model trains when we were young boys.........always a big attraction! By the way, I apologize for the double posts that are occurring for me. I am not sure why, and have contacted Dave Kaun of the site to try and find out why. He has said he will delete any extra ones, as I cannot. There should be a delete button for an original poster to use...........Terry

Wonderful pictures of a wonderful collection, Terry. Keep on playing and taking pictures! Some special DT photography additions of mine, inspired by the revived Coles Mobile Crane discussion and my recent book issue: DINKY TOYS HEAVY BOOK LIFTING THE WORK HORSES ... Kind regards, Jan

Jan, Great presentation of your atlas, I love the idea.
