THE
LIONEL ARCHIVE COLLECTION
Mention the name "Lionel Archives" to
most any train enthusiast and you're likely to watch their
eyes grow in wonder, for there are few places as hallow
and mysterious.
Simply put,
Lionel's archives are a snapshot of the company's history
from the last several decades, holding priceless relics
from times gone by. You'll find hand-made, one-of-a-kind
factory samples from the 1930's through today, as well as
production pieces of a vest percentage of everything
Lionel has made during that time period. Many pieces
represent ideas never fully realized, leaving us to
wonder, "What if...?"
During recent
visit through this revered place, we thought that some of
these ideas were too good to stay behind locked doors.
Hence for 2000, we will be raising the curtain on many of
these products to allow them their moment in the sun.
Lionel's
Archive Collection will consist of all forms of Lionel
products, from locomotives to rolling stock to
accessories, and all will be produced in limited quantities.
For this catalog, we've selected our first group of
favorites, and we hope they'll be yours, too. But hurry-
it may be your only chance to purchase them for another
century!

Collection Southern Pacific F3's
While it is not known
why Lionel didn't produce these "Black widow"
diesels in the 1950's, we've assigned the 2387 number to
them as if they had gone into production. The Lionel
Archive Collection will be filled with many interesting,
popular, and even obscure pieces over the coming years -
here's your chance to be in on it from the beginning!
