TRAINS OF THE LIONEL STANDARD GAUGE ERA brings to collectors and model railroaders the complete series of articles which appeared in Railroad Model Craftsman Magazine during 1963 and 1964. These articles have been supplemented with additional photos and data of tore Lionel equipment. There has never previously been published such o complete collection of photos and data on Lionel Standard Gauge equipment.

This book does not attempt to cover every color and rivet variation since such a work would have entailed a much larger edition. This book does cover all of the known body types of locomotives and con, plus some of the trolleys. That there ore errors and omissions is inevitable. Two new variations come to our attention only a few weeks before this book went to press. The author welcomes news of further new finds.

Thanks must be given to the many collectors who provided information and mode their collections available for inspection and photographing. In particular we must thank Ed Alexander, Bob Bender, Case Kowal, Joe Levy, Bill Krames, Les Morris, Jim McKarcher, John Marron, Joe Ranker, Lou Redman, Herb Rost, Gerard Robinson, Warren Schuch, Bill VageII, Al Schrader and the Train Collectors Association, Inc.

Hertz: "Collecting Model Trains" and "Riding The Tinplate Rails." Publications of the Train Collectors Association, Inc., also provide a wealth of information for serious collectors.
