A Century of Lionel A spectacular, two-hour tribute to a special toy that has thrilled five generations. See all the classics the State Set, Blue comet, Hudsons, F3s, GG-1s, Daylights, accessories and much more. Remember the little man who threw milk cans out of the milk car? He's included. So are log loaders, coal loaders, operating dump cars, cranes, bridges, the steam whistle, sleek diesels and steamers puffing smoke. No other toy has provided so much enjoyment to so many for so long.
Narrated by broadcasting-legend Tom Snyder (an avid toy train collector), and created by award-winning producers Tom McComas and Joseph Stachler, these officially licensed, action-packed videos trace the history of this American legend, and show all the trains and accessories that have generated so many memories. Things change but the basic appeal of a toy train is as irresistible today as it was in 1990. Lionel, it would seem, is forever.
Bonus material includes the last video shoot permitted in the Lionel factory before operations were moved to the Far East, comments by the producers about making the film, and vintage Lionel commercials.
