Is anyone here interested in American Flyer electric toy trains? They were popularized by the A.C. Gilbert Company and later became part of Lionel.

My father loved them, collected them, and repaired them for others, and left us a large inventory of trains, accessories, and parts.

Now it's time to find them a new home.

Any suggestions?
