Lionel "Model Builder" magazines from 1937 to 1949, for Free at trainlife.com & other Train Magazines Too, Keeps getting Better !

I model the 1950s on my layout using building methods of that period.  I have nine Lionel's "Model Builder"  magazines from 1940 to 1942, picked up at a train show years ago.  They have great track plans, show how to build structures like coaling towers and round houses and turntables, and much more, etc.

I did a search and found the "trainlife.com"  site that has complete archive copies of 79 Model Builder magazines from vol #1, Jan/Feb 1937 to vol #79, March 1949, all great reproductions and very clear, all for FREE.

The magazines cost originally 10 cents each or 50 cents for a year of 5 to 8 issues, depending on conditions during WWII, and have advertisements that show pictures and costs which I found interesting too.

Here is a link if you want to check them out.
