Hi Ed, wonderful job on the video. I think it is a good thing that we should all be reminded from time to time what a great product Gilbert put out. Sometimes we tend to forget what a positive effect AF had on the direction O-gauge took in the fifties.
Competition has a way of bringing out the best on both sides, just look at MTH and Lionel.
To add to what Al K said above; we don't have to attend the LCCA convention to appreciate Ed Boyle.
