Lionel Trains
Higbee’s, Halle’s, Taylor’s, Bailey’s, May Co., Sterling Lindner… These are some the department stores that sold Lionel Trains during the Golden years.
Lionel - ALCOs and Special Sets
|
This view shows most of the ALCO diesels. The set on the top shelf is the super rare Girl’s Train Set. The emblems above are some of the complete collection of railroad emblems available in special Post cereal boxes in the 50s. |
Lionel - Diesel Wall 2
|
Here’s a view of the diesel wall from the other end of the room. Note the rare 2347 C & O GP |
Lionel - Girl's Train
|
This is the one! When this set came out Lionel couldn’t give it away. Today no collector will give it away either. These are virtually impossible to find in premium condition. Notice the white transformer at the end of the train. |
Lionel - Diesels and Sets
|
This is a display of every F3, GP, FM, and Switcher of the Post War period. |
Lionel - Box Cars
|
This shows some of the complete box car collection. Every production box car is on display. |
Lionel - Steam and Motorized Units
|
This wall contains all the steam engines of the period. The top and part of the second shelf hold all the small motorized units that began with the Gang Car in 1954. |
Lionel - Short Box Cars and Pre-war
|
The section contains all of the O27 box cars and some of the Pre-War items in the collection. Note the black and white cow sticking his head out of the Armour Cattle Car. This is a rare set of cattle only packed with the Armour cars the first year produced. |
