This was inspired by the recent HO scale Lionel thread.

My other hobby, wargaming, has an excellent resource website called "Stuff of Legends" (www.solegends.com) that lists nearly every Fantasy and Sci-Fi gaming miniature that has ever been made and is now out of production.
Is there anthing like this for trains? If we had something like Stuff of Legends we could easily see all the items from the old Lionel HO line.
Does anything like this exist?

I'm not sure of what sites are out there, but this site is a great reference point.

I'm sure you know of it. By the way, my future son-in-law is into wargaming. He loves the stuff I build for my layout.

There was / is a website that was trying to make available the instructions and assembly diagrams of every model engine made, maybe some other stuff like buildings and accessories. I don't recall the website name / address right now (??)
As it happens, someone posted something I just read that references the site I was thinking of...HO Seeker.
In the early days of the internet there were some guys who were attempting things along this line. I recall a website where the guy painstakingly provided the closest prototype for just about every passenger car ever created in HO, going way back, kit and RTR, including some really obscure stuff. It was the classic "labor of love." And of course I always intended to print it out "some day" and never did. The site is long gone, probably gone for a decade or more.

Thanks for the replies.
Lots of good sites there. I especially liked "hoseeker".
Somewhat related to the topic, I see from an ad in the NMRA Magazine that White River Productions now has a magazine devoted to HO collectors.

I have never seen an issue of the mag so I have no hard info on just how historical it gets.
