This is my is my first video about the postwar freight cars. I start with the so called flat cars as defined by the Standard Catalog of Lionel Trains.

These earlier models had a die cast body and looked more realistic than the sheath metal cars of the p...

The girls train set, also called Lady Lionel, included a pink version of the classical 2037 loco with five cars painted in unrealistic colours. This set was a marketing disaster for Lionel. The dealers could not convince the customers, usually the fathers, that this is what girls wanted. Few were sold and today this set is a rare collector’s item. The pink gondola, the pastel yellow pacemaker b...

    Thank you for creating this new content. Still in awe of your layout - toy trains being enjoyed with imagination and ingenuity. The vignette stories (oh no, a log blocking the passenger route!) were amazing to watch, and your control of the cranes is wonderful to see. And picking something up, placing it in the dump gondola, then dumping it elsewhere reminded me of long weekend afternoons in my youth - kept us kids busy in imaginative play for hours! But your layout passing by is the best part - I keep finding little pieces in places that don’t always make sense, but add color and movement, truly inspiring. Please continue, learning Lionel history from your knowledge is motivational.

      The brick piers I have made myself. It is cut out of wood, and then painted red. Then I used a black Edding to draw the lines with a ruler. This takes a bit of time.

    Wow, what a display of all things Lionel. I do wish the trains were operating at a slower speed, though, to better view them. I watched the whole video hoping to spot the engine we had (along with 3 cars and a caboose). I spotted a similar one at 40:44 except ours was all red. We got the set for Christmas in the mid-50's as I recall, and I still remember the smell (ozone?) when we would run the engine at full speed. Thanks for the memories.
