Formed in 1900, the Lionel toy train company has delighted generations of children and adults with detailed and realistic replicas of locomotives. Featuring over 1,400 color photos, this resource for collectors and enthusiasts covers the company's postwar heyday (1945-1969). Hobby store operator Doyle provides meticulous descriptions of each model or item, accompanied by data on current market pricing and relative scarcity. A special appendix contains tips on cleaning and preparing trains.
