early train set

Well it appears to be an S-Gauge set from American Flyer. I'm tempted to say not really worth anything, maybe around $100 but I'm not sure. I've never dealt with S-gauge, let alone American Flyer.

If it was HO or O-gauge I could tell you anything you need to know.

Check out this forum, plenty of great people. I'm already enjoying my membership over there. It's the FABO of model trains.

What are your plans for it? Are you gonna play with it? Sell it?

If you play with it, don't set it up on carpet. Carpetituslintusmajoris is your model train's worst enemy. :D
