In order to tell the history of American Model Trains, it is necessary to tell the history of the S scale. This is the scale that is sold by the company today. They have staked their reputation on being able to create model trains in a sector, which is all but forgotten by too large a section of the model train industry. Getting to know this niche market may cause you to want to invest in an S scale model train today.
The S scale is about half way in between O and HO scale. It is characterized by a 1:64 ratio. The model is fairly large as far as model trains are concerned. Because of its size, it is fairly durable. It can handle being mistreated by those who not know much about model trains like children and beginners. The larger size allows the production companies to add more detail to the trains in order to boost the amount of realism as the train powers around the track.
The history of American Model Trains starts in Britain where the S scale first got its start. When it was created before the turn of the century, it was known as the H-1 scale in order to represent its size as half that of the #1 scale. The name was changed in 1937 when CD Models started marketing the track that would be suitable for use in the 1:64 scales. The last change in the name came when the American Flyer brand started selling steam-powered locomotives.
American Flyer Trains got its start as a toy model train company, which was bought by AC Gilbert in 1937. When the company first started selling the trains, they ran on a 3-gauge rail. In 1942, the company started producing a 2-gauge track that is pretty close to what is being used by the same scale trains today. The American Flyer Train business failed in 1967, but the Lionel Company bought the name in order to sell the same scale and using the tracks that the company designed. Lionel still sells the American Flyer brand in their catalogs and online.
The majority of American Model Trains which are produced today are made to look and feel just like the old American Flyer trains. This will bring back a lot of memories for those who remember the trains chugging around the track on Christmas morning. Even if you do not remember, the trains offer a great classical looking train you can enjoy as it powers down the track.
The train you buy today will undoubtedly have a lot of history attached to it. Seldom are the trains going to have such an American heritage as the American Model Trains do. No matter if you buy the train for the history or for the realism, you are sure to enjoy the way it looks as it rolls down the tracks. Make sure you buy the train, which will allow you to have the most fun. Having fun is the name of the game in this and any hobby.

AP Music Theory test tips?
I’m taking the AP Music Theory test this coming Monday the 14th, and I was wondering if anyone has any tips, or links or anything.
From people who’ve taken it already, what should I watch out for or focus on more? I’m ok in written, but not so good in ear training…
Anyone know the grading scale also (like how high you have to score for a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)? There’s a lot of info on the other AP tests, but not as much for Music Theory…
I’ve also checked out the CollegeBoard site, but I was wondering if there were any more places I could get multiple choice questions, with or without the aural.
Thanks!
I’m not really sure
But I’ll also be taking the music theory test
I took a practice test.. There were a couple words I didn’t know, so I guess make sure you know your vocab.
There are different sections, each one is worth a set amount of points.. so I can’t really determine how well you would have to do on each section to achieve a certain score.
www.musictheory.net can be helpful-ish
there are some different lessons and trainers on there
Sorry I couldn’t be of more assistance..
Good luck!
