Check the preorder link.  No working for me.

Try it now... Thanks!

Perfect.

I had fun doing a proofread of it (well, just a chapter or two) for Bruce.  Should turn out nicely.

Reserved mine.

Tinplate folks... The new Greenberg book on O gauge (Volume 1 of three) is almost upon us. These books will be the most comprehensive collecting guide to date. He is accepting orders now , for delivery after 2/25/18 in the order received. Contact Bruce at 703-461-6991 and bruceCgreenberg1@gmail.com .

The book is packed with Photos and details for the collector.

Gentlemen,

   This book sounds great, so anybody know what the cost will be?

The recent Greenberg standard gauge volume is THE definitive volume on Lionel SG to date, and I expect the O gauge volumes will be equal or better in their scholarship. Bruce and his team RULE!

$100.00 plus shipping.

Bruce sent me another page to show.... This one of the unusual 253 set that is complete .  This shows how the Book will be detailing the common as well as the unusual... and how locomotives versus consists are detailed in the book...  Note that there are a bewildering number of variations that were produced ( I'm still finding 800 and 2800 series variations after 20 years of collecting them!) and because they were in a huge variety of sets, they get a differing treatment. Remember, that this will be a 3 Volume set... there is that much information out there that Bruce collected...!

Trust me: The new O gauge book (Vol. 1) is THE definitive work on that early period of Lionel O. If the history of Lionel O gauge interests you, you will want to includthis--and subsequent planned volumes--in your permanent reference library. I seriously doubt that they will ever be topped by anything even remotely as comprehensive. I have an early pre-publication of Vol. 1 and have reviewed it for our April/June issue of OGR. It is excellent!

looks like a good reference, will have to get one

Thank you for starting this thread. I will have to get mine ordered in the next few days.

The details regarding ALL aspects of production in the recent SG volume are nothing short of remarkable to this non-collector, but made for a good read! 

Art, there were many months of data collection, physical study and collaboration with collectors that have hundreds of combined years of experience for the Standard Gauge AND the O gauge books, and we're glad you enjoyed it!

THANKS for your's and the rest of the team's contributions to that great volume! 

You are welcome. The research is fun, especially for variation collectors. Ive seen stuff that was produced but rarely seen.  We have been able to keep it to production items, so this stuff is out there!

Bob,

  Thanks for starting this thread, looks like I will order one when they come out.

Does anyone know the time slot on when the other volumes are due to be released?

They will likely be 18-24 months apart. Bruce has a head start on Vol 2 and Vol 3, but there is a ton of work yet.

When is Vol.1 coming out ??

I pre-ordered mine many months ago and Bruce emailed me last week to state that everyone should be getting the book in their hands by the end of February.

My book arrived today.  I think it turned out very nice.  A lot of cool stuff in it.

My 253 on the cover.  Hope you folks order and enjoy!

Just received mine yesterday and plan on spending the weekend poring over every page.  What a GREAT work!  Looking forward to the next two volumes.

My pre-order copy arrived today. Absolutely awesome!!  Anyone with an interest in Lionel (or a bit of transition Ives) tinplate from 1915 to 1928 will eat this book up. Some topics slip to the mid-30's.  Essential!

I agree! An indispensable reference to that period of Lionel O gauge. I doubt it will ever be surpassed simply because I don't know of anyone in the hobby willing to perform such exhaustive research on the subject. Not an easy task at all when you are dealing with trains made so many years ago.

Allen,  With the use of the internet, and recent auctions from various sources, there are many variations being found.  A lot of collectors are posting some of their finds with these variations.  It is these serious collector, who have supplied their findings to Bruce Greenberg, who is willing to compile all this new found information, and coming out with the new updated series of guides.  Rob English has supplied a lot of info, and worked with Bruce directly.  I hopefully will be meeting and working with Bruce, with his next volume, which he has recently started work on.  I’m looking forward to working with Bruce, hopefully next October at York.  

How do I order this book? I checked google nothing there.
