What I Love About Lionel Trains…
Like many people I believe, I personally love the Lionel Polar Express train set. In 2004 I went with my older son, at the time he was only 3 years old, to see the Movie. It was the first movie my son saw at the cinemas, and it was a magic moment for both him and his parents.
Although the sound at the theater was way too loud, my son was immersed in the images, the sounds, the characters, the music, and of course the big polar express train. It only reinforced his love of toy trains, as he was already a big fan of Thomas the tank engine wooden train sets.
I would love to hear what is it that you love about Lionel trains ... please leave your comment and mention what model & scale of lionel trains you love the most...& why...
