Have great memories of being a kid with an American Flyer train set. Spent a lot of hours being the engineer!
A simpler and more wholesome era let us hope for a return to such things.
Very entertaining! I like watching this old series. They try to be informative and sell a great toy.
Ouch, I felt the wind off that potshot at 3 rail all the way over here! But then this way made at the height of the "toy train wars" of the 50's, AF and Lionel were competing for business something fierce.
I did notice the put down of the rival Toy Train company known as Lionel because Lionel used and still uses 3 rail track for its O gauge or O scale trains. The center rail is used to distribute electricity to the locomotive. Anyway it is ironic when about a little over a decade and a half later the Lionel Corp. would end up owning American Flyer in 1967 because a year earlier in 1966 the parent company of American Flyer, the A.C. Gilbert Corp. went bankrupt. Anyway when I was a little kid in the 1960s I only got a O gauge Lionel train set for Christmas. But to day I do have S gauge trains made by a company known as American Models and a S gauge American Flyer train set from the early 1960s that I bought a few weeks ago. Americans Models only makes S gauge or S scale model trains and that's it. I also have O gauge trains made by Lionel and Williams. As for the Lionel O gauge train set I got for Christmas in the 1960s I was only able to find the steam locomotive, red caboose, transformer and some rusted 3 rail track in a box in the basement.
Dem Nu Yawk kids tawk da best!
In addition to the O gauge slam, Mr. Chibley of the New York Central R.R.was a good sport during the locomotive parade with the K5 of the rival Pennsylvania R.R. Toby dresses the part of a railroad president; I don't recall ever wearing a tie while running my trains!
The boys railroad club was all acting so I have heard. It is meant to be all fun and educational anyway. Great advertising for Gilbert too. The Hudson loco on the layout is a 4-6-4 wheel arrangement and the catalog number on the loco is #322 stamped under the windows on each side of cab.
Boy was that a slam for Lionel Train lovers!
hibernianish lionel train whistle are better they more like whistle
And it is ironic that today Lionel does own American Flyer.
I agree!
282 was the number assigned to that locomotive by the A. C. Gilbert Company. It has nothing to do with wheel arrangement. Back in the three-digit (pre-1957) era, Gilbert steam locomotives were grouped by type and their numbers reflected this. Locos in the 280 number range were Pacifics with a Chicago and Northwestern logo. The 290s were New Haven Pacifics with a feedwater heater. The 300s were Reading Atlantics; the 310s were Pennsylvania K-5 Pacifics; the 320s were New York Central Hudsons; the 330 were Union Pacific Northerns and the 350s were Royal Blue 4-6-2s. It wasn't as clear-cut during the five-digit era (post-1957). Hope this helps!
There were no 330 Northerns or anything else.
@@michaelgmoore5708 The 332, 334 and 336 are all lumped into the 330 category. I am well aware that there was no 330 Northern per se produced.
You are probably right A.D! It would be easy enough to have an actor with a ficticious name portray a railroad official; who is actually going to bother investigating.
Oops, I left out the 340s. Those were Nickel Plate switchers.
SO Could the B & O guy could have been voice actor Daws Butler ? He does look like him
Nice! just got my dad's 4 6 2 going today! what I don't understand though is it says 282 on the side but the wheel configuration is 4 6 2. can anyone please explain why this is? this train has been in his /our family since 1953 so I know the body on it is the same.
That's the locomotive number you can also use that number for parts
Don't be fooled by that Lionel stuff boys! Real men always use American Flyer!
The big boy is better than the Hudson
200000$ you could get less models for the same price
Mr.Chibley never existed,in the short promo he was an actor.
If this Mr. Chibley of the New York Central Railroad was just a fictional character and never existed then the producers of The Boy's American Flyer Club must have had technical advisors who were railroad engineers advising the Producers how the locomotives and railroad are run.
They used real water
It’s 2021 and the world has changed. I believe that boys enjoy would electric trains today but unfortunately are glued to less rewarding means of entertainment, and fathers don’t encourage old time fun as they can and should.
