Summer Lionel Train Fun

June 10th, 2010

With school ending in the next few days, kids will be looking for summertime activities to keep them occupied.  Model Railroading can be a great hobby to keep the kids busy through the summer months.  Lionel Trains are entertaining, creative, productive, and will keep them out of trouble too!  Start with a ready to run train kit, so they can get their train running quickly, then expand from there with additional track, buildings, scenery, and rail cars.  Helping them build their layout is a great way to spend time with them, and teach them some new skills as well.

2009 Lionel No. 2343 Santa Fe F3

March 1st, 2010

Looks like Lionel released their No. 2343 Santa Fe not quite true to the original.  Those of you who ordered them may have a collector's item on your hands.  Or if your prefer a more accurate representation, Lionel will swap the engine out for a new engine painted in the original color.

"The recent, highly-anticipated release of our No. 2343 Santa Fe F3s has left us feeling a little red in the face. As many of you have noted, the color of these iconic engines is not historically accurate. In 1951, these locomotives were issued with a rich, semi-gloss “Santa Fe” red. Our 2009 re-release was produced with a color that is not true to the original, a mistake our ardent fans noticed immediately. Ironically, the error may render these engines instantly collectible, an item that could very well skyrocket in value over the years. So you may have stumbled into one of those fortuitous mistakes that become another chapter in the canon of Lionel folklore.

But we recognize that not everyone will be satisfied to reap the collectible benefits of this inadvertent inaccuracy. For that reason, rest assured, Lionel is going to make it right. We are going to produce brand new bodies with the correct red color and will make those replacement bodies available to our valued customers.

Unfortunately, there are some packaging problems for which we have to make amends as well. First, some of you who bought the No 2185W New York Central F-3 AA Freight Set, No. 1652 Burlington GP-7 Passenger Set, No. 2507W New Haven F-3 Freight Set and No. 2261W Hudson Freight Hauler Set received your product in boxes that had “cut marks” on the top of the set box. The cuts occurred because, in our effort to get these products to market as quickly as possible, we shipped the engines from one factory and the rolling stock from another. The consolidator who put the elements together was just careless with their cutting tools. We were making every effort to get this product to you as quickly as possible – but sometimes haste makes waste.

Second, those of you who purchased the No.1484WS Lionel set also received a “problem” box. These were inadvertently tagged with “freight” instead of a “passenger” designation. We’re going back to the drawing board and are producing a brand new set of boxes that we will be happy to swap out for you."

Lionel Train Books make a Great Gift

December 21st, 2009

While browsing around Barnes & Noble today, I stumbles upon several really cool Lionel Model Train books. I hadn't thought to look at a bookstore, for some reason I forgot there were books strictly devoted to Pre-War, Post-War, and complete Lionel collections. These model train books would make a great holiday gift for the model railroader in your family! Here are some examples:
