    I bought my house 6 years ago and asked my Dad if I could put up his Lionel trains. I had only seen them under the christmas tree twice as a Kid. My Dad was so happy that one of his Boys asked to get his trains running, Since then I have built a very nice layout and have amassed a nice amount of Post War. Thanks for this video. Very informative.

    So this was the Lionel special that aired on PBS in honor of Lionel's 100th anniversary, as mentioned on the back covers of numerous TMBV media releases, right? I remember seeing a trailer for the home video release of it at the end of the 2002 VHS release of "OH NO!" when I was a kid. It's cool to finally see this Lionel documentary. Thanks very much for uploading it! Its opening song is very catchy and exciting.

    I remember checking this out at my local Library.
    I was amazed learning about the history for Lionel’s 100th Anniversary.
    Now at Lionel’s 122nd Anniversary, I look back at this video with nostalgia.
    I wonder about the 125th in 2025.

      Actually its not: Unfortunately the video perpetuates the myth about the first lionel train, but it always made a good story, which is what Lionel intended of course.
      The video is very lightweight on facts, but doesn't really matter: it's just fun to watch it for the wonderful trains, just don't treat it as a lesson in history

    This is what the Lionel trains is, intended to be played with not intended to be high dollar collectors stationary on shelves. Toys not cherished delicate collectibles. Pre/post war Lionel trains will live on far after the high dollar collector electronic stuff has become non functional scrap. 😊
