Guides to year of manufacture
« on: April 29, 2018, 09:06:08 am »
New to this forum and new to collecting Lionel in my advanced years though having received my very first Lionel train set 55 years ago.

I was looking at engine numbers and was wondering if there is a definitive guide to year of manufacture etc.?

You should pick up the Standard Catalog of Lionel Trains books. They are a great reference for dates and variations etc.

Thanks for the suggestion ChiefMcFuz! Ordered a post-war book today off of Abebooks today as well as some Greenberg's and McComas/Tuohy pre and postwar.

That should get me going for awhile.
