It's Christmas 1910, Imagine you are sitting down watching your father
or grandfather unwrapping their present, a box decorated in the timeless
orange, tan and blue colors of the Lionel Corporation. Inside they find a
shiny new passenger or freight train complete with track and transformer.
They take everything out of the box placing the locomotive on the track.
Just like a thoroughbred it looks ready to take off down the tracks
delivering passengers and freight to distant cities.

This is not your father or grandfather's story.
New for 2009, the Lionel Corporation presents ready to run trains sets
with all the grandeur of traditional pre-war tinplate trains, plus the
technology and options of contemporary model trains. These
Proto-Sound 2.0 equipped trains sets are available in O scale and standard
gauge, as freight or passenger consists. So come see and feel the
magic your father and grandfather experienced when they opened their
first train!
