Postwar Bulb Usage Chart

This chart was designed to be a handy tool for the repairman's bench and resulted from being frustrated with existing literature. Books always seemed to answer the (wrong) question: "What is this bulb used for?" instead of the more important question: "What is the correct bulb for this postwar Lionel item?"

Postwar Tender Chart

This chart was developed to be a useful reference document for dealers and collectors to help resolve the confusion over which tenders went with which steamers. Since Lionel used various tenders for the same engine and used the same tender for many engines, a document showing the match-ups was needed.

Postwar Switches, Contactors & Controllers Chart

This chart was developed to provide information regarding the correct device to energize accessories and other operating items produced by Lionel in the postwar era. It is useful for operators, dealers, and collectors.

Postwar Roadnames Chart

This chart was developed to assist those individuals who have a desire to collect all of the items of a particular roadname used by Lionel during the postwar era. Although somewhat whimsical in nature, it provides an inexpensive source of information for the person pursuing a collection with a unique theme.

Page 1 lists every roadname from Alaska Railroad to Western Pacific in alphabetical order and shows the number of every postwar locomotive, caboose, passenger car, and piece of rolling stock bearing that roadname. The other side, similar in concept, lists every private (advertising) label from Airex to Wix in alphabetical order and shows the number of every postwar locomotive, caboose, passenger car and piece of rolling stock displaying that label. A separate section shows every government agency used by Lionel on their postwar motive power and cars.
