I bought Standard Catalog of Lionel 1945-1969 by David Doyle (2006)with the intention of locating a source of information and clarification of my hobby of Post War Lionel Trains. This book surpassed my expectations in it color plate photography, organization of information. and anecdotal stories of the now defunct Lionel Corporation. The book has valuable information for the novice and advanced collector. I expect that I will be using this text for many years to come, and I am more than pleased with my purchase.
This book is a great book, I like it is the easy to use way it is laid out. I can quickly find which ever car or train I want to look up fast, It is very informative and has great descriptions of the trains, cars and all the Accessories. A must have for the postwar Lionel collectors library! Good Value. Lots of information. While price information is slightly Dated. What else would you expect from a book from 2006,? Great for descriptions , and pictures!
Great book of model railroading information and history. Clear photos.

gives you a guide to pricing. and a fair example of actual models of trains. everything you thought you knew is backed up by actual pictures with details of the train heritage. compositions of 100 characters or more are not my strong point. I've said the important as the book does to help me.
