Lionel Pre-War Trains - By: karl donald, 2009-06-23 Lionel trains have a long history in the United States and beyond and have been enjoyed by children and adults alike for more than a century. Lionel began to build these trains over 100 years ago, but it should be noted that they weren't originally meant to be toys.

This first train was operated with electric batteries and the trains ran on a tack made of brass. COMMENTS Add a comment |
