This is a very rare and out of print VHS tape by video producer Don Varda @donvarda and Lionel train collector Joe Algozzini covering all the trains made by Lionel in 1956. In this video, Varda and Algozzini cover each set, locomotive, and car offered by Lionel in 1956 and all the variations of the products made that year.
Don Varda is best known for working with acclaimed toy train collector and video producer Tom McComas at TM Books & Video during the early to mid 1990's. Varda and McComas together produced many shows for TM such as the original Toy Train Revue video magazine, The Magic of Lionel Trains, the first entries of the very popular I Love Toy Trains video series, and many more. In 1994, Don Varda left TM to pursue his own video production company called Varda Communications Corporation based out of LaPorte, Indiana. He created a few videos about toy trains such as "The Romance of Model Railroading O Gauge Layouts", "Stop, Look and Listen How To Identify Postwar Lionel", and the "MTH RailKing" 1995 video catalog. Varda stopped making videos by the late 90's and is now a coach in LaPorte, Indiana.

Real nice video ,i have several of the Engines and Cars. Nice to see which Cars came in the sets.
I Love This Video 1954 & 1956 Lionel Postwar Collectors Series.
Thank you! I also have the 1955 VHS uploaded here too.
@@wordenentertainment1997 Oh.
I bought the VHS tapes way back. My favorite Videos.
I never thought they would do a video on 1956 Lionel. This is a nice rare treat!
It sure is. It was so hard to find it along with 1955. Thankfully I got them in a set.
@@wordenentertainment1997 Thats pretty cool
Great memories although born in 1953 this was just a little prior to my Dad starting to build in our basement a 3 level mountain tiered layout in the basement of our new home in 1958 after his years in the Air Force. I can tell looking back at old Lionel catalog covers the years he kept were from 1958 through 1960. Like mentioned in this video additions were made each Christmas. I see so much we had such as the green and yellow Rutland box car, a red Lehigh hopper, a gray pipe flat car, and the red Baby Ruth box car along with a couple cabooses. I know our passenger set was 1960 Santa Fe and a steam New York Central locomotive pulled the freight. The structures were Plasticville. My Dad with plenty of lumber and cement he painted for the mountain effect. It all came down when I started college in 1971 after enduring a few years of collecting dust, and it was a great layout. We also had the workman car with bumpers going back and forth. Best was night viewing with lighted accessories and the lights out in the basement. Our Santa Fe passenger set included Santa Fe passenger cars. Do you know how much Lionel produced passenger cars just for for its Engine such as the Pennsylvania passenger set shown, or did they mostly just use generic pullman cars for a passenger set?
As far as I know, they were generic Pullman cars and had decals applied for whatever road name.
@@wordenentertainment1997 Thanks!
I still have the NH 2350 in mint condition...checking for the reverse color scheme...these videos are fantastic!
Thank you so much! That's amazing that you have a New Haven EP5. I was born in Connecticut and I have a soft spot for New Haven and New England trains. I hope to find a Lionel Postwar EP5 New Haven in the future. I do have a Williams EP5, but it's in Great Northern colors.
I have the 1959 Lionel catalog
That's one of the various postwar catalogs I need to find.
Spoiling us here lol
Is there any more or is this is last of them?
As far as I know, this is the last one. I'll try to get in touch with Don Varda himself and ask him.
Is there any clips of this for 1948 or 1961, 62?
Unfortunately no. Varda only made 54, 55, and 56.
Do you have any OGR tapes Nikolas?
Don't have any of those at this time.
The Postwar trains kind of look out of place in that mountain layout.
Really? I think they look right at home on there and on any layout whether its a toy train layout or a scale-detailed layout.
It’s just that you don’t usually Postwar trains on a scale layout.
let me tell you all about trains vhs
Possibly.
Name the musics from gene Michael productions
I don't know the other ones, but the intro is Grand Entrance, Celest Bounce and Sock Hop are the others.
What does b a r stand for
