American Flyer toy trains were made by the A.C. Gilbert Co. of New Haven, Connecticut, and the transformer was the heart of any layout, giving the engineer a handle to speed up and slow down the train. This No. 1A is a classic Gilbert-era controller that looks right at home beside a vintage train display or on the layout shelf.
