Lionel engine information | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

DennyMOGR Forum Member

I was wondering, how do you go about finding information on a Lionel engine that is too old to be listed on the manufacture's website? It would help though if there was a website the has all the info you would need. When I see a listing for a engine that doesn't have any kind of real description, I just move on.

An internet search of the product number should turn up a description of the product. A search of retailer's websites should also turn up a description of the item, many times with a reference to the catalog(s) that the item may be viewed in. Lionel's website allows you to view catalogs online back to 2010.

Sometimes I have luck by just doing a Google search using the name Lionel - product # and engine type.

If you want to know about a certain engine number then ask about that number then maybe somebody here will have all the info you need.

"Greenberg Guide" books for Lionel are good sources of info, also the "Standard Catalog of Lionel Trains" books by Doyle.
