I was looking at engine numbers and was wondering if there is a definitive guide to year of manufacture etc.? #Post#: 1952-------------------------------------------------- Re: Guides to year of manufacture By: Chiefmcfuz Date: May 3, 2018, 8:26 am --------------------------------------------------------- You should pick up the Standard Catalog of Lionel Trains books. They are a great reference for dates and variations etc. #Post#: 1953-------------------------------------------------- Re: Guides to year of manufacture By: ehtoo Date: May 3, 2018, 3:27 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the suggestion ChiefMcFuz! Ordered a post-war book today off of Abebooks today as well as some Greenberg's and McComas/Tuohy pre and postwar. That should get me going for awhile. *****************************************************
