This is a completely revised book. Please consider this and not the earlier 3rd Edition. It's 200 pages longer with all the information of the highly reviewed 3rd Edition. - Tom Barker Over the past six years I have provided the 3rd Editions of my Gilbert American Flyer Operating and Repair Guide books. Both Volume 1 and Volume 2 have been declared excellent helpers for those engaged in the repair and operation of these fine trains. More and more new AF enthusiasts are joining the thousands of experienced Gilbert American Flyer operators and collectors as evidenced by the growing numbers in the Facebook Groups. In conjunction with these groups I have discovered many new ideas that have been lingering around regarding the repair and operation of these fine trains and accessories. Some topics are common ideas and are just sitting around in the ordinary vernacular (like using a hair dryer to flex balky plastic engine shells). Neophytes need to have a reference beyond my original Guides to document many of these “everybody knows” AF topics. My second Volume approached that goal, but there are still many more ideas to expand the newbies’ knowledge. The Second Volume also had an extensive Index for quick reference to the many topics in both books. Now, in a vastly enlarged 4th Edition, I have incorporated and expanded all the topics of Volume 1 and Volume 2, added an additional 100 pages of new topics including more user friendly pictorial wiring diagrams, a huge chapter on accessories, and a reorganization of the book that guides the reader into the philosophy of AF repair. Plus a complete Index to all topics. The cost of producing a book like this (even in the age of print on demand) is especially high for color. Therefore, I am offering both a black and white version at a reasonable price of $26.95 and the color version for $56.95. (Color printing is 5 times the cost of B&W). The book size continues in the 8 by 10 inch format that fits easily on a workbench. It has a wider center space so the information does not get lost in the crease between facing pages. It is perfect bound and printed by Createspace, an Amazon Company.
