Classic Lionel Trains - Postwar Flat Freight Cars - 1946 - 1955
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. This video shows the flat cars introduced in Lionel catalogs between 1946 - 1955. I do not show all variants, but essentially the major models. These earlier models had a die cast body and looked more realistic than the sheath metal cars of the prewar period.

Classic Lionel Trains - Postwar Steam: Train Set for Girls 1957-1958
Просмотров 3,9 тыс.2 года назад
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...

    Is there a schematic for the track layout used in this video? I know I saw a quick picture of it in one of the videos but can’t remember where. If you could share it that would be great. I love watching these videos!

    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.
