Another great book on Lionel trains is now long out of print. This could possibly turn out to be the last detailed book on modern era lionel for some time to come. Author Michael Solly has exhaustively studied and documented the trains of the Kughn Era 1987-95. Prior to 1986, when Richard Kughn(Detriot-area real estate developer) bought Lionel, it was just another struggling toy company. For toy train collectors, that purchase had profound implications. After years of corporate ownership that saw production and quality decline, Kughn reinvigorated the company. Under the new name, Lionel Trains Inc.(LTI), and new management, the company moved in new directions. During the years covered, LTI produced more than 1100 items! By 1995, when Kughn sold LTI, to Neil Young and company, the toy train industry was flourishing. Features include: more than 1100 individual cars and locomotives listed and described; 680 color photos positioned next to the item; thorough explanation of LTI's numbering system; thorough chapter introductions; 17 illustrations of motors and body shells for easy identification; the first listing of TMCC trains. The reference guide to the trains that re-energized Lionel at the end of the 20th century.
