Standard Catalog Of Lionel Trains by David Doyle (2004, Paperback)

A good price guide should be well organized and accurate. There are a number of published price guides that are updated yearly. A pictorial price guide comes along less frequently and thus becomes less current, as far as price trends are concerned, as it ages. Fortunately The Standard Catalogue of Lionel Trains 1945-1969 is current (2004) and very well illustrated. It employs a visually appealing price and rarity analysis for each post-war locomotive, freight car, passenger car and accessory. It also contains pricing on catalogued sets, catalogues and paper products such as promotional literature. In addition to providing pricing it includes a historical description with each item to help the collector place it in context as a piece of post-war Lionel history. If you are in the market to purchase a post-war Lionel train or accessory this book will be very helpful.
