1946
1946 was the first year of full postwar train production by Lionel. Although Lionel did publish a 1945 newspaper ad as a catalogue, 1946 represents the first year an actual postwar catalogue was printed.
In addition to it's annual catalogue, Lionel printed several other annual publications for the year -- many of which are difficult to locate in collectable condition.
