Book Reviews of The Big Book of Lionel: The Complete Guide to Owning and Running America's Favorite Toy Trains

Book Review: Great foundation book
Summary: 5 Stars

This book lays a great foundation for anyone starting out. Practical ideas and methods are shown for wiring track and accessories. Care and maintenance. High quality book with very thick glossy pages and many many color photos along with some B/W photos. This would be helpful for anyone interested in 3 track O-gauge even if they are planning on using non-Lionel trains and accessories.

Summary of The Big Book of Lionel: The Complete Guide to Owning and Running America's Favorite Toy Trains

In 1900, Joshua Lionel Cowen invented his first toy electric train, and within a few short years Lionel layouts became a part of American living rooms at Christmastime. In this officially licensed guide, veteran hobby industry writer Robert Schleicher presents an illustrated treasury of practical advice for the year-round Lionel enthusiast, or for beginners who want their own holiday tradition with a Lionel set under the tree. Contains comprehensive information for prototype railroads, including track plans for the floor and tabletop, advice for scenery and structures, tips for wiring and track how-to, maintenance and restoration techniques, and instructions for operations to best emulate a real train. Also includes information on choosing steam or diesel locomotives, freight vs. passenger trains, and Lionel product development.
