Kalmbach owns Greenberg Guide name Lionel, Marx, pocket guides. Big ones long out of print. Accessible through their book store. NO Greenberg website. Bruce did a reprint a while back, with permission of Kalmbach. Dave
I was daydreaming this morning. Wondering if they'd done a recent pocket checklist version, covering only 1945-1969. I'm not interested in prices or such. But just refreshing my memory of what was out there. As my hands continue to fail me, eventually the N scale and the HOn30 will be a thing of the past. My idea is to scrounge up some of those items I knew and loved so well as a youth. (1945-1969 manufacturing era.) Set them up and operate. Used, obviously, but not abused broken stuff, unless it can be easily restored to decent appearance and operation. I'm actually starting to look forward to once more smelling the odors of arcs from track rollers, the fake smoke, etc. Have not owned any Lionel since 1986-87.
Go to the Clambake website, look for their book store, look up pocket guides. They say they still do those. The BIG books are gone.
Must have missed something, as this morning I was there. All I saw was one packet guide for Marx, and a 1945-1969 repair book. Guess I'll go look again.
OK, this is strange. Just visited their site, and when I clicked on books, it redirected me to a "new" book store page. Completely different from what I saw this morning! Looks like the only one is an all time production book, with sections. But I guess that would work.
Yeah, I couldn't find it first time either, so I called. Second time got the redirect and warnings associated with such. Dave
