Pictures Needed
to Complete The Gilbert Gallery

I need the following pictures to complete The Gilbert Gallery. If you have any of these engines or cars and you would like to share them with the world, email me a picture:

                      theupstairstrain@gmail.com.

Thank you very much!

Several people have asked what kind of picture is best. The best shot would be on the tracks on a layout to show its "natural habitat" but without too much in the background to take attention away from the car. Second best is on a plain surface like a tabletop with nothing else in the picture - dark surface for light-colored cars and light surface for dark-colored cars.

Mostly, people will want to see the side of the car or engine, but a picture is more impressive and informative if you can see a bit of the top and the most interesting end as well.

If you have the original box that the item came in, put each item on top of its box in such a way that the box label with the catalog number and name shows clearly in the picture.

At least 800X600 dpi resolution; the bigger it is, the better resolution we get. And, of course, a jpg file is best.

I would like to give you photo credit. Please include your name as you would like it to appear in the photo credit, or state that you'd prefer to remain anonymous. I would be happy to provide a link to your website or ebay sales if you like.


I've recently added pages for the folowing types of engines and cars that Lionel has released in the past ten years. I have only a couple of these cars and need pictures of the rest.
