736 pages of schematics, part numbers, and repair tips. Well arranged by Lionel model number. I never knew this existed before dmlgolf-trains told me what I was looking for (ZW transformer wiring) was in this book. Covers post war locomotives, lighted or animated rolling stock, buildings, and accessories. Unlike some manuals, ALL sketches, drawings, and diagrams are clear, crisp, and legible! Wish I had this years ago! Great help to us tinkerers!

This product is no better then my old Greenberg book. In fact my old Greenberg book shows better images drawings and States things much clearer then this new one. I am a former engineer and have trouble with many of the diagrams and writings.

really great reference for postwar lionel trains and accessories. contains the manuals and exploded diagrams for the above mentioned items. I am not 100% sure if every postwar lionel item is represented in this book since I am not an expert on this topic. If you are looking for parts the diagrams have the actual Lionel part numbers on them in the exploded views. Makes it easy when you have to do an internet search on a part because most traditional parts dealers have there items listed by the old numbering system. If you like 1945-69 Postwar LIONEL, THIS IS YOUR BOOK.

This looks like a condensed version of a larger book, therefore the type is small and some faded from repeated printing. As well the illustrations are small as well. So a good pair of glasses will be needed as most who order this book already have glasses. It is however a much appreciated detailed book to help you put that locomotive back together again from that box of parts up in the attic!

I collect and repair old Lionel Trains and I like to be able to take my reference material to the workbench. This book gives me that option. It is full of useful and informative information. Well written with very clear and concise diagrams of all Lionels locomotives and accesories from this time period,I will use this book for years to come. A great publication for anyone who works on post war Lionel.
I am starting to get more involved in setting up my dad's old Lionel train. The rolling stock and accessories he had need some work, and I'm glad I ordered this manual. It covers mostly all of the items I own, and gives just enough info on how to make them work correctly. I haven't put it to work yet, but will start any day now. I would recommend this book to anybody wanting basic general knowledge about older Lionel trains and accessories.

More information than I needed. It provides a good general description of train parts and workings as well as very detailed information of individual engines, transformers, etc. I probably utilized 1% of its information. However, it helped me fix and maintain my small Lionel train set with confidence.

This book is a very valuable tool. Without it, restoring an old piece of Lionel equipment would be much less rewarding. One must know the correct part number to save time and money and to make good quality repairs. Thank You! John M. Habak
