American Flyer is a sleek, prancing stallion, gray as smoke curling from an old-fashioned locomotive. This horse offers a nostalgic tribute to the bygone days. When the Charnholm family of Salem decided to sponsor a carousel horse, they wanted a steed that captured the fun-loving spirit of A. C. Gilbert, the great Salem-born creator of the original toy erector set and beloved American Flyer model trains. American Flyer reflects the enduring power of childhood imagination.
