The first Lionel diesels of the postwar era made its debut in 1948 and included the now
famous Santa Fe F-3 along with the ever popular New York Central F-3. In an era when steam
locomotives were the mainstay of most railroads -- including Lionel's own motive power
fleet -- the move to dieselization was right around the corner. By the mid 1950s, diesel
and electric motive power began to share the spotlight with the steamer. With smooth
sides and the opportunity to display colorful graphics and logos, the popularity of a
diesel soon domimated the world of Lionel.
