Standard catalog of Lionel trains 1970-2000
Created: 02/03/11
A serious Lionel hobbyist needs a comprehensive historical guide to the Company's products. David Doyle's series of books is among the best on the market. The set includes guides for the years 1900-1942, 1945-1969, and this one. (Note that Lionel made no toys as such in 1943-44 because of WWII.) The best feature of these books is the profuse photos of locomotives, rolling stock, accessories, and other items alongside the descriptions and market values. The books make up a kind of pictorial history of Lionel trains. They're great for checking on the scarcity and estimated price of an item before bidding on eBay or shopping at a train show, as well as having fun browsing. Whether one obtains a copy from a local bookstore or at a discount online, this book and others like it make worthwhile purchases for a personal reference library.

Excellent book! Lionel Collectors should buy. The way it is laid out makes it easy to use. 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. It also has some good historical information about Lionel. The book is also a great value with the low price. This is must for the serious Lionel collector.

Excellent reference book
Created: 20/04/09
This is an outstanding reference book covering 30 years of Lionel trains. The items are arranged for easy reference, and the accompanying numbers and color pictures make any particular Lionel item very easy to identify. The brief descriptions of Lionels ongoing changes are much appreciated and helps distinguish between similar items.
The book is printed on high quality, glossy paper and appears to be bound securely for a long lifetime.
An invaluable reference book for Lionel fans in my opinion.

Great source of reference material, for the pictures it contains. Not too much in the way of information on the details of specific items shown.
