About this product

Product Information

This year the Lionel Train Company celebrates its 100th anniversary, and to commemorate the milestone comes a 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.

Seller's pricing & shipping were reasonable, responds very quickly & super easy to work with. Photos & description of item is good, but could be a little better. Even though my item was packaged & protected very well, it arrived with a nick on one of the handles. I notified the seller & she quickly responded & issued a refund, with instructions on how to returm my item. Overall this was a very good experience & seller was very helpful & easy to work with, I do recommend this seller!

    All Aboard : The Story of Joshua Lionel Cowen &

    This book is a very thorough history of the beginning of the Lionel Electric Train brand, and the marvelous man that brought them to many, many homes around the world. Highly recommended. If you love trains, you'll love this book - even if you do not own or collect Lionel.
