Classic Toy Trains  |  July 2019
John Truckenbrod has an outstanding collection of postwar Lionel trains, including several rare and unusual items highlighted in our cover story this month. Best of all, he has recreated a postwar hobby shop to house it all! John is the host of the “Truck’s Toy Trains” video series, in which he shares his vast knowledge of Lionel’s sets, rolling stock, boxes, and oddities. We also profile a 15 x 26-foot S gauge layout that provides a realistic setting for postwar American Flyer engines and cars as well as the best products from contemporary S gauge manufacturers and travel to Finland to visit an O gauge modular club. A track planning article features an O-27 design perfect for modelers who want to mix trains, accessories, and lots of Plasticville structures. Contributing Editor Bob Keller discusses the appeal of the modern era of train production in his new monthly column. Plus news, reviews, and more!
