3/16 inch Scale Passenger Cars
The American Flyer Manufacturing Company was acquired by the A C Gilbert Company, manufacturers of Erector Sets, in 1938. New locomotives and rolling stock were illustrated in the 1939 American Flyer catalogue, indicating that A C Gilbert planned the new items immediately he purchased the company, the preceding year. The new items were built to a scale of 3/16ths of an inch to the foot, yet were designed to run on traditional 0 gauge track.
The new 3/16th products (locomotives, passenger cars and freight cars) continued in production until the USA joined WWII in 1942. When production resumed after the war, American Flyer used the same products, converted to S gauge, which is beyond the remit of this site.
