The Lionel Collectors Club of America is thrilled to announce the update and release of three cornerstone collections in our Digital Archives: the complete four‑volume Holtmann Consumer Catalog Archives (1900–1995), the fully restored Osterhoff Postwar Instruction Sheets Volumes 1–4, and the complete run of Lionel Consumer Catalogs from 1996–2010. Together, these releases span more than a century of Lionel history, now presented with crisp digital reproduction, standardized navigation, and a clean, modern interface designed for effortless exploration.
As we continue our multi‑phase restoration project, please note that additional sections of the Digital Archives remain under construction and will return to the website as each collection is finalized. Thank you for your patience and enthusiasm as we rebuild this museum‑grade resource for all Lionel enthusiasts.
In 2019 Joe lost his home and part of his collection to a flood. In this video Joe explains how he went from the flood to the beautiful house and layout he has recreated.
Some of Joe’s collection was underwater for over 10 days. In the new house the train room is now on the top floor. Joe’s is passionate about our hobby and loves teaching about it.
He has over 250 set which is the main focus of his collecting. Take a moment to check out the Joe Snook collection and please “Like" the video and subscribe if you haven’t already done so.
