The continuing expansion in the buying and selling of railroadiana collectibles, with their value steadily on the increase, has made the compilation of this New Revised Price Guide necessary. Collecting the artifacts from America's railroads has become one of the most popular hobbies in the country today, and collectors and dealers alike need to be aware of the current prices being offered on the many collectibles available in this fast-growing field . Prices have been arrived at by studying the prices realized at antique shows and shops, railroadiana shows and auctions, ads found in the antique trade journals, through the various mail order lists, and among collectors in the field .
