Lionel: Train Sets, Scenery, Tracks and Accessories
:: Since 1900 :: Unbelievable selection :: Fine detail :: High quality ::
Lionel has been making exquisite train sets and accessories since when trains were in their heyday. Now that trains are making a comeback, this is the perfect time to bring your family together over a fun and creative project. Lionel has tons of accessories to bring life to your scene in amazing detail. It is a lot of fun to go through their catalog and imagine what you can do by building a table with contoured terrain, rivers, mountains and a village.
EDIT: Lionel has been importing, so exercise caution before purchasing
Covering several track styles, Lionel’s train selection ranges from old timey, up to super modern bullet trains (as well as Thomas and Friends!). They have great items such as vehicles, people, signs, bridges, tunnels, buildings, roads, tracks, lamps, stations, and more.
Augment their accessories (and save some dough) by crafting your own landscape and printing out your own props and buildings… with a good color printer, some foam core, and your imagination you can create an awesome train set!
