I purchased a Greenberg's Repair and Operating Manual for Lionel Trains 1945 - 1969 to keep my dad's trains and accessories running. This book along with www.ttender.com have been great help to me. They have allowed me to keep my dad's 726 running along with several of the accessories that he had. When my dad's set was given to me in 1970s, my dad and Uncles purchased a few new items for the set. My 6-8354 Erie Diesel Switcher needs some work. Also, my wife purchased some stuff Lionel items for me when we got married 15 years ago. From what I can find online, Greenberg did not issue another repair guide for Lionel products after 1969. Can anyone recommend a good manual for Lionel Products from 1970 to the present.

Well, there's always the Lionel supplements that are freely downloadable. They cover many (but not all) Lionel stuff from 1970 to 2004.
Here's a link to a topic here: https://ogrforum.com/...5#156701991985114505
This is the entire set of Lionel Supplements in a single giant PDF. Just download the three files, put them in a folder, and run the .EXE file.
Thanks for the recommendation!
FYI, Greenberg does have a book of diagrams and parts list for the Modern Era 1997-1992: https://www.amazon.com/Lionel-...-Lists/dp/0897782852
Also, I have indexed the Lionel Supplements in a clickable format that takes you right to the exact page within the Lionel sources and does not infringe on the copyrights as the downloadable EXE could: https://ogrr.bigdigiman.com/li...supplementindex.html
Well, there is the East Texas Model Trains index: http://www.easttexas-modeltrai...rg/supplement_files/

They folded long ago... link has long been dead.
Good thing I captured that index before it disappeared!
Yep
Rick, you can go all the way to 2004 if you just keep working up through Supplement 47.
John Thanks I just wanted too get the Original poster going in the right direction. I have thought about downloading all of them to a CD for the day the are removed.
I downloaded all the supplements many years ago, and I have the searchable index file as well. Makes short work of finding stuff in all the volumes. The whole set is only 296 megabytes, so not a big deal to have locally.
