Q: I recently bought an old Lionel train set. Is there any book on how to repair it and giving general information? A: Just what you are looking for is a reproduction of "How to Operate and Maintain Lionel Trains and Accessories," which is "hot off the presses" from Bibliographic Press. -- "The Antiques Detective," The Miami Herald, December 17, 1995
While there's a wealth of material on the most esoteric aspects of collecting Lionel trains, there has been a decided dearth of information about actually using them -- until now. Bibliographic Press has reissued the 1956 manual "How to Operate & Maintain Lionel Trains and Accessories," a neat, no-nonesense softbound book packed with layouts, installation data and troubleshooting tips." -- Newsday, April 23, 1994

From the Publisher
Many have fond memories of Lionel trains of this era, which seem indestructible, but in contrast to the trains, few instruction manuals have survived as they were originally printed on low-quality paper. It is for this reason that we are proud to make a high quality edition of this useful book available to train enthusiasts.

Essential Reference for Classic Lionel Fans,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Operate & Maintain Lionel Trains and Accessories (Paperback)
I think that this book is extremely useful and would like to point out that the November/December 1999 issue of S Gaugian magazine has a review on page 45 in which they state that "With dozens of illustrations and charts, this fascinating little book will intrigue those looking for help with their Lionel Trains as well as those looking for a piece of model railroad history." I agree.
