I would like to include a column in my inventory listing as to the date Lionel released an engine or a car. At first I was putting in the Most Recent Calalog date like "Signature 2012" for example, but obviously this doesn't work as the same item can be carried over to the next catalog. What is the best means to determine the initial release date of the product? Many Thanks.

Short of brute force tracking the info as products are released, I'm not sure there is a single place in the public domain.  The importers know.  But given some products are running 2+ years delivery after their initial catalog publications, it's not the kind of info the importers like to lead with.

Thanks David ....I didn't think it would be that simple......I was just hoping for some date on the product so I could track when it was manufactured by Lionel....I am also going to include a column as to when the prototype was built to help with era correctness of consists ......while not always easy I suspect "most" of this data will reside on the car under "BLT" date.....
