American Flyer S Scale Boxcars (7 of 11)
Gilbert made 65 distinct boxcars as listed on a little over three pages of the TM Guide, not counting the variations on some of the 65.  Lionel made many more under the American Flyer name, in addition to their line of Christmas cars.  Because there are so many, I have split them up over eleven web pages:

Gilbert boxcars #613 through #642 are on page 1
                       #734 through #973 are on page 2
                       #974 through #24029 are on page 3
                       #24030 through #24057 are on page 4
                       #24058 through #25062 are on page 5
                       #25062 through #25082 are on page 6
Lionel boxcars  #0700 through #9709 are on page 6
                       #9710 through #48268 are on this page
                       #48300 through #48325 are on page 8
                       #48326 through #48355 are on page 9
                       #48356 through #48483 are on page 10
                       #48484 and above are on page 11

Unless otherwise specified, the large pictures on this page are of cars in the collection of The Upstairs Train.
