I just received this from NASG
*******************************
As you may be aware, 2021 is the 75th Anniversary year for American Flyer S Gauge trains. Very few brands of model trains have ever reached this milestone.
The 2021 Lionel Big Book catalog will be released on January 20. It can be viewed on line on that date, or you can pickup a copy from your local Lionel dealer. It will be in a flip over format. As you look at the cover with the Lionel name on it, you can then flip the catalog top-to-bottom and the cover will now be the American Flyer catalog. Besides the general release items for American Flyer, there will be special items specifically for the 75th Anniversary.
On February 2 at 5:00 P. M. Eastern Standard Time, the National Association of S Gaugers has arranged, with Lionel 's cooperation, a live Internet presentation, "The American Flyer 2021 Catalog Live." Celebrate 75 years of American Flyer S-Gauge Trains with Ryan Kunkle, Lionel's Director of Product Management. He will take all viewers on a boundless journey to review the exciting NEW Products in the 2021 American Flyer Catalog. (If you have obtained a copy of the catalog by the 2nd, it is suggested that you have it with you to help follow along with Ryan's tour.)
Anyone wishing to join the presentation may go to Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/AmericanFlyerTrains or go to YouTube, https://www.youtube.com/LionelModelTrains. Those joining the presentation will be able to enter comments and questions to which Lionel will respond as time permits.
Please encourage your club members to join in and to pass the word along to other S model railroaders in your area that are fans of American Flyer S gauge model railroading.
We look forward to having a large number of S Gaugers nationwide join this very special event.
Kind regards,
Will Holt
President
National Association of S Gaugers, Incorporated
