| Original Lionel 1966 Post-War catalog. 40 page paper pulp catalog, with exceptional color photography of the consumer items. An interesting year for Lionel and the collector. Only 21 of the pages were trains(and four were HO trains). The rest was slot cars, science kits, and record players. This was a great year for the 6464 collector. There were four new 6464 reissues; -375 Cent. of Georgia; -450 Great Northern; -650 Rio Grande; and -700 Santa Fe. Some of the most scarce varitions, date to these cars and 1966. Still a good year for sets, in cludes the monumental 13150 Hudson set(one of which was auctioned for $ 36,000 at Butterfield and Butterfield auctions in San Francisco), 12840 665 Hudson Frt. set(the only set other than 1957's Girl's Set, to ever contain two 6464 series boxcars, -375 & -450, extremely rare set), 12800 B&M GP-9 frt set, 12710 736 bershire frt. set, 12850 2322 Virginian FM set.
