A.C. Gilbert’s American Flyer Train Show
In 1937, the A.C. Gilbert Company purchased the American Flyer model train company. The company had been struggling, but A.C. Gilbert Co. made them successful again by improving the model offerings and marketing them with the rest of their engineering educational toys.
Every year from Thanksgiving to late January, visitors can experience the A.C. Gilbert Train Display, a beloved annual tradition. A four-track model featuring Gilbert American Flyer trains is on display and available for you to drive your own train.
