Owen Jones

Author Owen Jones, from Barry, South Wales, came to writing novels relatively recently, although he has been writing all his adult life. He has lived and worked in several countries and travelled in many, many more. He speaks, or has spoken, seven languages fluently and is currently learning Thai, since he lived in Thailand with his Thai wife of ten years. "It has never taken me long to learn a language," he says, "but Thai bears no relationship to any other language I have ever studied before." When asked about his style of writing, he said, "I'm a Celt, and we are Romantic. I believe in reincarnation and lots more besides in that vein. Those beliefs, like 'Do unto another...', and 'What goes round comes around', Fate and Karma are central to my life, so they are reflected in my work'. His first novel, 'Daddy's Hobby' from the series 'Behind The Smile: The Story of Lek, a Bar Girl in Pattaya' has become the classic novel on Pattaya bar girls and has been followed by six sequels. However, his largest collection is 'The Megan Series', twenty-three novelettes on the psychic development of a young teenage girl, the subtitle of which, 'A Spirit Guide, A Ghost Tiger and One Scary Mother!' sums them up nicely. After fifteen years of travelling, Owen and his wife are now back in his home town. He sums up his style as: "I write about what I see... or think I see... or dream... and in the end, it's all the same really..."

American Flyer Train Sets

On this site, you will find American Flyer train sets offered by some of the top suppliers of electric toy trains and loads of information to assist you to decide which of the American Flyer train sets is best for you.

American Flyer train sets were first manufactured by the American Flyer Manufacturing Corporation in Chicago, Illinois by the toy maker William Frederick Hafner, who developed clockwork engines for toy cars in 1901 while working for a company called Toy Auto Company. According to the recollections of William Hafner’s son, John, he had developed a clockwork model train running on O gauge track by 1905.

Hafner’s friend, William Ogden Coleman, took control of the Edmonds-Menzel Hardware Company, a struggling hardware manufacturer in Chicago, in 1906 or 1907. Hafner and Coleman began manufacturing toy trains using Edmonds-Menzel’s excess production capability after Hafner was able to secure $15,000 worth of orders.

By 1907, two American retailers, G. Somers & Co. and Montgomery Ward, were selling Edmonds-Menzel model trains. In 1908, Edmonds-Menzel adopted the American Flyer brand name for the toy trains, and by 1910, Edmonds-Menzel was out of the hardware business and changed its name to American Flyer Manufacturing Company.
