Books on Lionel MPC and LTI trains.
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, November 27, 2005 1:24 PM
Hey Ya'll


I just bought, the Standard Catalog of Lionel Trains 1945 - 1969. It is wonderful.

But, do the have a Standard Catalog of Lionel trains for Modern Era, I know there is one for Prewar, so will a Modern Era one be next.


Are there any other books that I should buy? Is there an on-line Guide to them ?

Greenburg published a modern era Vol. I (lush red cover) with a 92 or 93 cut off. A Vol II was published listing sets, some large scale, and odds and ends. Both are out of print.

Greenburg's guide to Lionel trains 1987-1995 covers the Kughn era (no MPC or LLC) and it is still in print in both hardback and paper editions. Check cttbooks.com for more information.

TM Books reprinted their multi-volume Lionel book series a few years back and it included an MPC volume. I think the only updated info was the value section, but it was selling for $10 and it was quite a value. TM Also does a modern era price guide, but I think it has been a year or so since they reprinted it.
