a really useful and tough to find book. This is THE ORIGINAL guide to Prewar trains by the experts. The Train Collectors Association put this book together by committee to cover all the prewar bases. This one is the second edition with additions. This is STILL the single most authoritative book on the subject, put together by REAL experts. The bright spot in the picture of the cover is the flash from my camera--not on the book cover. THIS volume even comes with a prewar paint color chart so you can make sure you a) KNOW your color variations, and b) can remix paint for your projects in an accurate manner. NO OTHER PREWAR GUIDE HAS THIS. Why you need this book: This is a full sized, full color guide to Prewar Lionel.
