Hello American Flyer Train/Lionel Train enthusiasts,

It's the start of another new year.  So it looks like we will still be running less trains again this year than we did in the past, even though most of us have some new/exciting trains, cars, and accessories to show this year.  In addition, we lost one of our key members this year and we will miss his presents at the shows in the future.  Eddie was a great guy and has been with the club since it was founded.

We still have a number of shows currently scheduled for the year.  Once again we expect to be enjoying the thing that we have enjoyed doing together for many years.

2023 was the club's 30th anniversary.  We created an anniversary car and had them made for those in the club that want to have one.

There are a lot of things going on in the world that create cause for concern for the future.  Nevertheless, we look forward to running trains as a way to put our cares aside and enjoy running trains in order to provide a way for not only us, but for people to put aside their cares for a short time too and have some fun.

Stay safe and enjoy the year.

Now that is a real good American Flyer smoke unit Fred
