Information

If you are a member of the LCCA you can look at the John Holtmann collection of catalogs and other advertising.  It's under the Digital Publications.  In 1906 from what I see there wasn't really a catalog just a one page advertisement for the window display car.

Correction clicking on the page opened up the 14 or so page catalog.

Thank you.  Can anyone describe what was offered by Lionel that year?  I know it was the first year in which a transformer was offered.

Well actually just clicked on the page and it opened up a several page catalog.  It looks like the first catalog with a transformer $15 had a trolley, a electric car # 3 and a basic steam switching engine #5.  Also had engine #6 4-4-0 electric express steam engine with several cars to pull flat car #11, gondola #12, cattle car #13, box car #14, oil car #15, coal car #16, and caboose #17.  A pullman Sleeper car #18and combination Sleeper/ baggage #19 was also offered.  Some track and switches and a few accessories.  The catalog wrapped up with some various motors.

That's about the jist of it.

Thank you.  What do I have to join to see this?

Thanks again.
