When it came to electric trains, no retail catalogue could match the excitement generated by the latest Lionel catalogue. Lionel's staff artists created images of shining streamliners racing across the Great Plains to the West Coast and smoking steam engines heroically dragging mile-long strings of freight cars from one city to another. The wonder of it all is that these amazing train renderings, though incredibly realistic, were still identifiable as toys. "The Art of Lionel Trains" features the grandest examples of Lionel catalogue and advertising art along with text on how the artwork reflected the culture and values of the times. It's a fascinating story, a delightful trip down memory lane, and a colourful look at America's premier toy train manufacturer. A reference for nostalgia buffs, antique lovers and toy train fans everywhere!
