standard catalog of lionel trains 1970-2000

Hi Cody,

I do not have this Lionel 1970 to 2000 book that you have shown above— I double- checked online for sources to buy and could only find the same info you posted with prices around $50. Good luck in your search!

I have this book which I purchased new. Covers everything actually produced in that 30 year span. I suggest calling the Model Railroad Shop in Piscataway NJ. They may have it as they carry a lot of out of print books 

Cody;

I’m pretty sure I have a copy I purchased New a number of years ago - can’t remember last time I used it. 

Kind of a good news/bad news situation... I’m currently staying at my brother’s while recuperating from a full knee replacement. I should make it home for the first time in a month next weekend and I’ll check to be sure if it’s what you are looking for. If it is, I’d be glad to ship it off to you - the bad news... since I had my right knee replaced, I can’t really drive to the Post Office for another couple of weeks, so it may take a bit of time before I can send it. I’ll let you know when I get home.

You might try Thrift books but you need to know the Arthur of any book you are looking for. They have new and used books.

This may help.......I searched online and this is a catalog page from the 1996 catalog.....

I have this book. OK as a general reference guide. Does not have detailed descriptions or include sets. Does have many photos although many photos are right from internet auction/sales websites. If you looking for something with better descriptions, the TM Modern Era guides did a lot better job.

I have had this book for years. If you’re not familiar with specific item numbers of the pieces made in those 30 years, it’s easy to get lost. So finding types of engines based on fantasy schemes will be varied depending what year they were made and which era.

They do list the item numbers, type of locomotives, and year produced, but as Ed stated would’ve benefited from specific details like in the prewar and postwar books. Though if that was done, the book might’ve been 2 or 3 times larger to cover all of the stuff made. Like Ed said, TM’s or even Greenberg’s ones I’d recommend for looking for specifics, from things such as popularity, effect on the market, and some operating and cosmetic characteristics.

Made it home, found the book... my e-mail is in my profile - if you send me an address, I’ll be happy to send it to you when I can get to a post office (probably in the next week or so).

To be clear, no charge for the book - just glad someone can use/appreciate it.
