Since the turn of the century, these trains have appeared during the Holiday Season to delight boys, both young and old. In the past two decades, as with many items that have been manufactured over a long period, the toy train has become very collectible. This book is designed as a reference work on Lionel Trains from their first appearance until World War II halted production in 1943.
