On page one the top set with the 2-4-2 Locomotive and 3 cars my brother and I received this set on 👎Christmas day in 1947, we ran the daylights out of it, what fun we had for years with this train set. Ray, thanks for the wonderful memories!👍👍🚂🚂
5:11 the Scout in the upper left is a set my dad had that he gave to us. It was a hand-me-down from his cousin. So “The Secondhand Overland” started MANY moons ago! 😅
Thanks for sharing Ray. This book is in pristine condition for its age. Exciting to see the trains of the time and to put a year to those items that I can't figure out.
Fantastic review, Ray! The condition of the catalog looks pretty good to me. It was and is the contents within those Lionel catalogs that still excites me. I received my first Lionel train in 1956 I believe it was. A Milwaukee Road GP7 set which probably explains why GP7's/9's are my favorite diesel locomotives today, lol! You did a great job sharing the catalog with us. Bill B.
@@RaysTrains Hey, Ray, thank you! Don't hesitate to climb on board, the Bill B.'s Holiday Box Car Challenge 2024 Express. We're waiting for you, lol! Bill
So cool, Ray! An fine presentation of one of the great catalogs from the past. Those old catalogs are a trip back in time, for sure. I have a 1955 Lionel private catalog, along with a 1951 American Flyer and a couple of AMT catalogs from 1950 and 1952. You'll notice that the low-end O27 engines, like the 221, didn't have smoke. I don't miss it on mine. Another thing, the lower-end O27 and O gauge sets came with carry-over cars, from the pre-war sets. The crane car, dump car and some of the passenger cars, among others, all were all pre-war carry-overs in the lower-end sets. The cars were also offered for separate sale. The transformers were basically pre-war versions, before the new transformers came out in 1948 and had no whistle or direction buttons. I have a type V, which is great for accessories. Some of the accessories, like the coal and log loader, were carry-overs. I actually like them better than the newer ones. That Lionel #30 operating water tower was discontinued after 1947 and is quite valuable today. The construction sets are neat and were obviously aimed at Erector. I have the 454 set. The chemistry sets were something else, entirely. There wasn't much thought given to what they contained and some of the side-effects that handling them could cause. At least kids back then weren't ingesting some of the chemicals, unlike today, where they eat Tide Pods. It was certainly different times back then, for sure. Either way, an excellent overview and video, as always.
Awesome catalog, that catalog is in great condition. I love looking at that old stuff and seeing how Lionel marketed their trains. I think you're right, while the tone and images have changed they still follow that same format. I'm pretty sure I had that scout set early on in the catalog, I gave that to dagryffyn hobby.
I still have that same Catalog that belonged to my Grandfather. I’ve picture framed mine to help protect the condition. Also The black 1947 Lionel Dreyfus Hudson’s are hard to find, I think that the set would look 10 times better would have been too add the Marx NYC Passenger Cars. But The Green Tin Lionel Cars are still nice regardless

Much more exciting options today. Similar to automobile choices then vs today.
Just got your package in the mail today, love the t- shirt, thanks!
@@garys0scale525 sorry I took so long Gary lol can’t thank you enough !
Cool catalog! I wonder if this was around the time of AC Gilbert? Not sure when that came in to play.
They also re-started, right after WWII. Gilbert bought Flyer in 1938.

I keep forgetting what day you have a live video. Tonight was it. At h you next week.
Hi Ray !
