DESCRIPTION:
Judge This Book by its Cover • Bad binding - excellent Content 22TWAINS Like the prewar book it is excellent in its content. I seldom use it as I focus on prewar items. Therefore, I was very disappointed to find that within months, the binding just fell apart and the pages fell out. I put up with it for awhile. But, now it is useless.The prewar book by Doyle is still holding up great with 10 years use.. "Very good reference book for the Lionel train enthusiast." according to LA. This book is a must have for both the serious collector and casual Lionel train fan alike. The book gives good background information for each segment of Lionel train (locomotives, flat cars, etc.) as well as insightful commentary on each train car model. The pictures are excellent but if you are looking for detailed information on the parts and assembly of the trains then this book will not help.That said, the book is highly recommended for the Lionel fan who wants to see the full l. MOST COMPREHENSIVE YET THIS IS A WONDERFUL BOOK FOR THE LIONEL COLLECTOR AND ENTHUSIAST!MY ONLY CRITICISM IS THAT SOME OF THE MORE IMPORTANT AND CLASSIC MODELS WERE GIVEN ONLY TINY PHOTOGRAPHIC COVERAGE. FOR EXAMPLE, THE PHOTO OF THE 773 HUDSON IS ABOUT 1/2" X 1" WHERE OTHER LESS IMPORTANT MODELS ARE GIVEN 1/8 OF A PAGE.OTHER THAN THAT, THE BOOK IS GREAT AND VERY ENJOYABLE TO THUMB THROUGH!
Do You Live for Lionel?There may be other things to live for, but collecting Lionel Trains takes living to a whole new level! The world of postwar Lionel Trains brought countless innovations to the legendary line that helped define the electric toy train, and this book breaks it all down into easy-to-find sections.Divided into locomotives, freight and maintenance of way, passenger cars, accessories, catalogs, and cataloged sets, each section is broken down further into subcategories such as steam locomotives and flatcars. Once you've found your model and style, you'll discover detailed descriptions unmatched by anything you've seen in other
