The contribution for this week is from the archives. I don't have very much equipment from American Flyer's 3/16 O gauge line but I do have some examples. I like to have them to show folks the roots of the S gauge line that Gilbert produced after the war. So here is The Royal Blue:
Flyer also marketed a whistling baggage car to match the Royal Blue.
It sounds a lot like your mother's MixMaster from childhood.

Hey Greg, would you be able to take some close up pics of your Royal? I could use some shots of the pilot and trailing trucks,side rods, and the underneath. This is my first Flyer engine and I'm in unchartered waters as knowing what I'm looking at as far as Flyer parts...the guy I got this off of sent me a basket case locomotive.....
I think Greg has got us all hooked on AF.
I ended up with a pilot and a couple of trailing trucks in a recent lot I picked up. Also have a 561 K5 "kit" for you
I'll catch up with you off line since you need some more projects lol
