Lionel O27 MKT Stock Car

With each resource subject tackled, I tend to acquire some new web skills and refine my presentation organization and approach. This Lionel survey you are visiting now is no exception. I have considered Lionel's O27 products occasionally over the years for possible resource subject. Not being a collector of Lionel nor O-scale seriously and always having another HO-scale line tempting me, Lionel would always end up on the siding and never make it to the mainline. After picking up a few Lionel catalogs for O27 products, I got hooked and my interest built.

Certainly some may wonder and question the choice of creating this Lionel resource online for the 1970-1985 products. Believe all train people, whether prototype railfans or model railroaders, tend to be attracted to what they saw in their youth. Though I was not a Lionel O27 operator as a young boy, the MPC-General Mills Era for Lionel very much matches my period of interest in the hobby and the trains of my youth. This was my reason for taking on this piece of Lionel production history for online presentation.
