Sharp photos show almost every major loco and car type made by Lionel in standard gauge and early wide gauge from 1906-1941.

These articles have been supplemented with additional photos and data of rare old Lionel equipment not included in the original articles.

This book does not attempt to include every color and rivet variation, which would have entailed a much larger edition.
This book does cover all major body types of locomotives and cars, plus some trolleys of Lionel's early period.
