Hey y'all,
I was wondering if any organization has a website with scanned or otherwise digitalized copies of Lionel catalogs from the 1950s. For example, would the TCA have digitalized copies?
My objective is to do some historical research using them; as I am in school a digital source would be ideal.
Or, if there is a book or other paper source containing these catalogs, that would work as well.

Robert Osterhoff has computer discs for sale with the catalogs (and many other things), and Greenberg's used to sell reproductions. The TCA Museum will have copies on file, but you'll either have to go there to see them or pay for copies to be made and mailed to you. Osterhoff would be the best and easiest way to go. Check the Forum for contact info, I know I've seen him post here.
Dan, another excellent source is HSL. They have a dvd with 1945 to 1969 Lionel catalogs, every page and very sharp images. The dvd also contains many other "extra" catalogs. This is an official licensed product of Lionel.

Good luck, Steve
