Web ChangesThis is where we'll announce the most recent additions to our web site. If you've visited us before and want to know what's changed, take a look here first. Tooling for the #350 Bumper is complete and a small run has been made. The first run on Carlisle & Finch Fixed Bucket Coal Cars is complete. We have produced a couple of Harmony Creamery Boxcars for the TCA 50 Anniversary. See them at the Custom Shop page. We now have a Screensaver Program available for your Windows PC. Check it out on the JLM Trains Screensaver page. Check out the new book by Tim Walsh about the origin of famous toys. It's called The Playmakers, and has a chapter about Lionel. (Even shows one of our Wooden Gondolas) The Carlisle & Finch Brass Bridge is ready. Check it out at the Carlisle & Finch Accessories page. Converse Trolleys are done. Now taking orders. Check them out at the Converse Trolley page. Here we go again! Looks like I've gotten talked into reproducing some Carlisle & Finch. The Mining Locomotive and Ore Cars will be first. Tooling for the motor is underway as are the wheel patterns. Trolleys will most likely follow, then a Locomotive and Freight Cars. We are just in the beginning stages so keep checking on the progress on the Carlisle & Finch page. We are currently working with Period Toys, providing them with accurate parts to be framed with their artwork of Lionel products. Check out their website at Period Toys. Looks like we'll be offering a few reproductions of the Hudson And Manhattan Tube Train. We have just added full versions of Iron Ponies and Railroad Story of the 1949 Lionel Showroom Layout. We will be adding more soon. Keep checking back. Tooling is underway for the No. 16 Ballast Car in Standard Gauge. We have just added a page describing the methods used in the construction of our trains. There is a video and some descriptions. Plenty more to come on the Old Technology page. We have been getting many requests for a Converse Trolley in 2 7/8 Inch Gauge, so the tooling is underway. Keep checking the Converse Trolley page for updates. Check out our Guest Book. Please feel free to leave your comments. Also read the comments left by others. We have added an Image Map of the 1949 Lionel Showroom Layout. We have just added a few downloadable VIDEOS to our 2 7/8 Inch Gauge page. Check out our new project in Standard Gauge. A TWIN MOTORED Steam engine. Take a look at the Super 7 Project page. Our tooling for the Standard Gauge No. 7 Steam Engine is finally finished. We are now taking orders. Check it out on the Standard Gauge Page. We have just updated the Links page. Check it out. We are currently in the process of building a re-creation of the 1949 Lionel Showroom Layout. This is going to be a monumental
project, but one that we have been wanting to do for a long time now. We will show some
photos as the work progresses.
