Seems like i remember the A C Gilbert Company demise in the 60's and almost 60 years flyer by Gilbert and flyer by Lionel are still here in abundance. Today most big collectors and operators who own 20 to a hundred engines and are old like me dying and dying out daily at a time when demand is low Mth like Gilbert will always be hear. The only problem problem is parts and repair but the secondary market will solve that. Happy retirement Mike, oh what a great ride you give thank you so much and enjoy your new world.
