Lionel Trains Store Online: Way back in 1900 when Joshua Lionel Cowen created the first Lionel toy train set we wonder if he and his immigrant family had just created an American legend that would last over a century. Joshua grew up in a time when trains symbolized the ingenuity and power of America. The meeting of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific train lines had recently connected the east and west. Many Americans viewed that as a sign of America's true greatness.

Lionel created the model train industry over one hundred years ago - and today you'll still see many homes with Lionel train sets circling the Christmas tree each and every holiday season.

Today, the toy train industry is on the rise again and Lionel trains are still the standard by which any other toy train is measured.
