Thanks for sharing. AHM made some really nice stuff. The Rivarossi locomotives and rolling stock were probably the best but the Mehano (I hope I got the name right) was right up there too - IIRC, most of the Mehano production was licensed by Rivarossi but made in Yugoslavia. I enjoyed the summer sales. Somewhere I have either the July or August 1967 Model Railroader that had the double-page advertisement for one of these sales. I was able to buy what seemed like a lot of rolling stock to me (including HOn2-1/2 MiniTrains) because the discounts were so large. I liked the metal wheels on the rolling stock and the large flanges didn't bother me because they operated fine on my code 100 Atlas snap-track layout. I especially liked the AHM full-length heavyweight coach. That was the first heavyweight passenger car I owned that looked right.
