I was out getting stuff and went into Ollie's. They had a Lionel displayed isle end cap with some paintings and ornaments (3 different packages).

"Good Stuff Cheap"
Thanks for the heads up. Picked up the canvas print of the 1927 Catalog cover that I didn't have. A great bargain at $4.99. The ornaments are also a good deal at $9.99 for 14 or $14.99 for 24.
I had those prints in my hands and I put them down! She said I didn't need them, and I agreed. I have a stack of posters and pictures that I never hung up. There's not much wall space left as I keep buying trains.
Which ornaments do they have?
That's nice to know. We have a New Ollie's Store in Clarksville Tennessee. My Question, is this a Nationwide Chain Store? We have not shopped there yet.....Great Thread, thanks for posting....
Well we have them in several cities around here, I'm not sure if your's are the same? Maybe look at that online link.
There were three different sets of ornaments. I'm not positive which were in each? I did see some with the Lionel name. I saw a GG1 ornament. There's a larger assortment in a octagon box that I bought online last year. It's put away right now.

Not yet. About 120 store on the east coast primarily . Started in the Harrisburg,PA area by Ollie Rosenberg and partners. Just went public.

They had a few styles with just the Lionel logo. They also had one with a GG1. Another one had a steam engine. The last one looked like maybe an F3. I stopped in over my break at work and spotted them on the way out the door. This was the store in Altoona.
I'll have to make a stop at the local Ollie's and see what they have. Thanks for the tip!
Our local Ollie's was a discovery for my Dear wife and I! If you have grandkids they have a terrific selection of quality children's books! I also picked up several bestseller overstocks for less than 3.00 and two plastic model car kits which retail for 50 to 60.00 for 14.95!! We will definitely go back! Fun store to roam around in! And now they have train stuff? Can't get any better!
They have Brian Solomon's Locomotive book too!
I purchased two different packages of Lionel ornaments this morning from the Ollie's in Greenville, SC.
I passed on two of the canvas prints at $4.99 and $3.99.
i had to ask a clerk and she got this stuff from the back room as it hasn't been put out yet. A great buy on the ornaments at 14.99 and $9.99.
