We need your help!

I didn't start the website because I am an expert on the subject, but because I am interested in this aspect Gilbert American Flyer history and want to learn more about it.  Since I started this project I have learned a lot, but there is a lot more to learn.  Sometimes the best thing you learn is how much you still have to learn.  The response by American Flyer collectors and Gilbert historians has been fantastic and has enabled me to make more historical information, photos, and Gilbert paper available on the website, but more information is needed.  That's why I am asking you for your help.     

Here is some of the information I would like to add to the website and maybe you can help.

• Additional photos of the 2nd Floor Layout at the New York Hall of Science, preferably those from 1956  and later, but earlier photos will still be appreciated.

• A track plan of the 2nd Floor Layout at the New York Hall of Science, preferably one that can be posted on the website, showing it either before or after the 1953 changes

• Information on the display layouts open to the public which were located on the main floor of the New York Hall of Science

• Information on the Chicago, Miami, and Washington, D.C. Halls of Science - Trackplans of layouts would be much appreciated as would any information related to reminiscences of visits to these Halls of Science.

• Information on the dealer display catalogs - Does my listing cover them all, or are there others?   If so, how are they available, if at all.

• Information about additional factory manufactured dealer display layouts and when they were offered, as well as information on two layouts that are illustrated, but cannot be identified by number.

• Information on any other relevant articles in the model railroad press that I haven't included in my bibliography?

• Information on great store layouts other than those discussed.   Do you have any reminiscences of visits to these layouts?   We need to increase the Layout Memories section, hopefully with your reminiscences.
