I know I wont be displaying the better years of Flyer but it may enough to get people interested in the brand and the hobby.
That is a great idea. The All aboard sets look good, A small layout that is light weight and transportable would be perfect for train shows. I don't care to see large displays that are little more than track on modules with little scenery and few trains actually running. An All aboard set nicely set up with a staging yard to one side could be an ideal size for one or two persons to set up and show S-Scale. I know that many of the S-Helper locomotives and some American Models locomotives will operate on the tighter curves of Pike Master track as I have operated them on my All Aboard panel set. Also most people are not going to have a large space to set up a train layout, the All aboard panels are an example of what can be completed in a small space,
