You may also enjoy the 1916 Sears Christmas catalog slideshow--over 720 scans--it took us almost 18 months to get it all! May take a moment or two to load https://www.flickr.com/photos/22283683@N07/sets/72157625908978489/show

  2. Maria, the Pikemaster was American Flyer's last hurrah - they made the track curves narrower to compete with HO. They made that train really cheap to compete with the lower end of Lionel, but it didn't save them.

    I'd love to see a good scan of that ad at the S Gauge forum on BIT, hint hint. :-)

  3. I have the marble top coffee table stereo - it was my dad's. Sadly, I'm going to have to leave it behind when I leave California :( If you know anyone who might want it...the tuner still works...
