101 Classic Toy Trains 4

101 Classic Toy Trains (Best of the Post Years) by Roger Carp

With 101 Classic Toy Trains, Roger Carp, senior editor for Classic Toy Trains magazine, details the top toy trains produced during the classic postwar period — the best of the best.

The book includes steam locomotives, diesels, railcars, sets, and accessories. Each entry presents history, production facts, approximate values, and other interesting information. Colorful photos help you identify the toy trains you enjoyed.

Not only are Lionel, American Flyer, and Marx trains featured but so are those by smaller manufacturers such as Kusan, Minitoys, Colber, and Auburn Model Trains.

Based on the popular “Collectible Classics” column from Classic Toy Trains magazine, this book surveys the most collectible toy train accessories, and rolling stock. This book is very helpful to those who have found an old train collection and are looking for the value of it, or for those who just want a better idea of what they should buy next for their layout.
