Project Roar Publishing is dedicated to preserving the history of hobby collectibles, in particular, the miniature electric trains produced by the Lionel Corp., through careful use of original documents and expert observations. Project Roar was founded in 2001 with the acquisition of postwar Lionel® production records. Since then, many more internal documents have been uncovered and acquired so that a unique research facility has developed.

Project Roar has never veered from its original goal of analyzing the original Lionel documents and disseminating the information learned and conclusions drawn. The result of its endeavors has been authoritative publications that can be passed down to future generations. See our Online Store for a list of our books and related documents.
