Here are a pair of Gilbert HO cars. Gilbert also made the popular S gauge trains. It made a foray into HO in the 1950s. |
Here on the back of boxes is a small list of other cars available from Gilbert. |
Here are the cars - a covered hopper and stock car. |
The end flap of one box lists its contents |
These are rather nice cars, and even have sprung trucks. |
Like Lionel, Gilbert did not fully understand the nuances of HO or "scale model railroading." their experience was with toy trains. Despite making some decent models, Gilbert's foray into HO was as much a flop as Lionel's. |
