I believe the American Flyer 'S' gauge was also 3/16 scale.
I received one such train set for Christmas in 1949, but may be wrong
on the numbers or scale, since I haven't had it out for a little
over a year.
Just yesterday (Sunday, Jan. 9) I saw a locomotive-tender combination
like mine for $100 at an antique sale. In 1949, the complete set
cost under $50.
