Synopsis
To commemorate the milestone of Lionel Train Company's 100th anniversary comes an updated second edition of ALL ABOARD , the marvelous story of Joshua Lionel Cowen and the toy trains he created. Originally published in 1981, ALL ABOARD brings back the classic electric trains for all those who remember them. The Santa Fe came in gleaming silver and shiny red. The New York Central was gray and white. World War I models carried seige guns, a 1957 engine came in pink for girls. There were Pullmans and steam locomotives, Lehigh Valley coal cars, lumber cars, and a design from 1964 that carried radioactive waste and the Mercury capsule. A&E Network named Lionel trains a "Top Ten Toy" of the century-#4 specifically. But the story of Lionel trains is far from over. Co-owned by rock star Neil Young, who bought the company because of his autistic son's love for the trains, the Lionel Train Company is stronger than ever, and is evolving with the times by employing remote control, sound chips, and other technical innovations. With 32 all-new pages and scores of colorful illustrations from the archives of Lionel catalogs, ALL ABOARD is the definitive collector's book on the subject., To commemorate the milestone of Lionel Train Company's 100th anniversary comes an updated second edition of ALL ABOARD!, the marvelous story of Joshua Lionel Cowen and the toy trains he created.

    The description read "acceptable" however, this book was in amazing condition when I received it. Sure, the dust cover had some wear, that's what it's there for! But the book itself is near perfect. Pages are flat and unmarked with no tears or blemishes, corners are sharp and neat. I'm VERY pleased. This book came well wrapped and on time. Trustworthy seller. Would buy from again 100%.

    This book tells of Lionels history, and more importantly, why we love them.

    Interesting book on Lionel trains. It not only covers the history of Lionel but the author covers why, at least I, love trains so much. My father scrimped and sacrificed for months, every year to add to our Lionel board each Christmas. But, then, we were together for hours, even months, together with them. I don't love the trains as much as I loved him, and I'm doing the same for my children. This book tells of that, and the possible opposite effect. The Lionel business was all to it's founder. When the business side took over J. Lionel Cohen's life the same trains that brought us together, took him from his children, sad. This is a side of the Lionel story that is rarely covered. I've never heard it before. PS Yes I still have our originals, and maybe more importantly the original ...

    All Aboard By Ron Hollander

    This is an excellent history of Lionel Trains and Joshua Lionel Cowen, its creator and founder. Although the book is dated, it brings the reader up into the mid-70's. For those of us who grew up during the "Catalog Years" of the fifties, many fond memories are brought back as Lionel Trains were such a major part of most boys' life then, especially around Christmas. Hollander's writing is excellent, lively and clear. Its a good story complimented with a description of the social climate in the USA at the time. Anyone who had a Lionel (or American Flyer) as a kid should read this book.
