It’s never too late to add one!
Installing an uncoupling coil on O
gauge track calls for only a few supplies
and materials, including an Atlas
uncoupling track, a motor tool, and a
dab of glue.
This regional railroad was one of
Lionel’s favorites – but not for long!

A
round this time of year, the mag-
azine staff turns its attention to
special projects. In recent years
these projects have included
annual
Lionel Trains
special intersest pub-
lications. The specials are very popular
with readers, and it’s easy to see why.
The annual publications focus on one
aspect of Lionel train history and bring it
to life with sharp, colorful photos and
clear, accurate text. Last year, for example,
saw the publication of
Lionel Trains: Acces-
sories.
Authored by Senior Editor Roger
Carp, this publication covered more than
50 of the most innovative accessories from
prewar to modern times.
I am happy to say the series continues
this year. Elsewhere in this issue you will
find an announcement for
Lionel Trains:
Best Layouts and Store Displays.
In this
116-page publication, Roger details the
amazing scope of the Lionel Corporation’s
marketing efforts. For instance, if you
owned a hobby shop in the postwar era,
you could order a fully scenicked factory-
built display layout. Just open the box, add
trains, and watch the dollars roll in!
The few surviving display railroads are
hot collectibles today, and Roger has
tracked down many of the finest examples
for this special publication.
Just as rare are Lionel’s vintage store
display materials. From posters to life-size
cutouts to countertop racks, these items
capture all the excitement of electric trains
at the height of postwar boom years.
Look for this publication at your local
hobby retailer in late October. Or you can
reserve your copy today by visiting www.
ClassicToyTrains.com/CT7. Either way,
you may want to move quickly. Several
previous
Lionel Trains
specials sold out.
Want more toy train reading? We’ve got
you covered!
Coming later this year is
Classic Toy
Trains: 25 Years and Counting.
This DVD
archive contains every page from the first
27 years of
Classic Toy Trains
magazine,
from the hard-to-find Premier Issue in
1987 through December 2014.
We’re talking about all the products,
ground-breaking layouts, and essential
how-to articles. That’s more than 26,000
pages of great toy train reading, all right at
your fingertips, archived, and fully
indexed and searchable.
As a bonus, the DVD includes two pre-
CTT special issues:
Toy & Model Trains
from 1986 and 1987.
The DVD will be on sale later this sum-
mer, but you can reserve your own copy
right now by visiting www.ClassicToy-
Trains.com/CTTDVD.
Happy reading from the gang at CTT!
