I got a metal lunchbox with this catalog's cover art that I use as my model train toolbox. Turns out the catalog it is from has amazing artwork all over it! They really made full-color art that looks like a photo of the product! I bet actual photos were still too complicated to mass-print in 1952.
Great video David. The old Lionel catalogs spark my imagination. Lionel was the high-tech toy in 1952 and the people at Lionel knew what they were doing. I have learned a lot from studying what they were doing. Al

Wow thats in great condition! I really like the Western Pacific F units. The paint scheme is amazing
Love it ..
Probably lionel's most iconic catalog
52 was one of their banner years.
Collector David can you do a video of the lionel 1959 postwar catalog showing the whole thing
