I think J.L.Cowen would be thrilled to see his trains displayed and sold like this; more popular than ever.

@will2926 9 месяцев назад

I think so too! Lionel has done some incredible things over these past 10 years and it's amazing they are about to celebrate the 125th! I cannot wait to see what Lionel comes out with next! Another hope is Lionel goes west! Happy Railroading 🚂!!

@@will2926 anything Lionel has made in the past decade is absolute made in China garbage... Post war (1945-1969) is when their trains were top notch, made in USA. I appreciate your video, so don't get me wrong, I just don't agree that Lionel has gotten better over the years... (An awesome anniversary set 75 yrs, hahaha) Trash

@atsfwolf2583 Год назад

Wish California had a Lionel store, COME ONE LIONEL WE HAVE TRAIN PEOPLE AS WELL!!!

@will2926 Год назад

Yes I completely agree! With Lionel opening a store in Nashville this will show Lionel that these retail stores are a great idea and will expand out west!

I flew out to the Lionel Store last December. I was just as amazed as you were. It's like heaven for a Lionel Train lover. Prices are pretty good as well.

@will2926 Год назад

It was a magical experience! Seeing the store for the first time I was in shock! I really felt like I was transported back into the postwar era where these types of stores were common! The prices were outstanding and the staff was very professional and a joy to work with!

While I'm not a fan of Lionel, simply because I don't do O-scale, having a whole store like this is super cool.

My mouth is watering right now! That store is a mecca for orange and blue blooded O-gaugers. I wish they would re-make the Lionel bar stool. The ones from the 1990s are selling for $300 each - if you can find them.

I agree with you here! Lionel needs to go back to having a devoted American Flyer catalog with new tooling and products. There is a great market for S Scale and our hobby is continuing to grow. Maybe in the future Lionel will bring out new products!

What a cool store and video! I'm up in Michigan and toured the Lionel when they were in Chesterfield Michigan. I hated it when they closed and moved! When there I saw the 1999 Corvette GP-7 train set on display. A few years later I found a NOS set and was able to buy it. Nothing like seeing stuff in person over a catalog.

Hello I'm a new follower on your page and I just wanted to say I love the video's you do of Lionel trains. I'm hoping they put one here in the Chattanooga mall so that I can add to my 2 sets. I have the Polar Express and the Harry Potter G scale sets and I've been looking for the Christmas box car that go's with the Polar Express train set but every one is sold out. If you find one can you let me know.

@will2926 10 месяцев назад

Randy & Jen, thank you so much for the support!! So they just opened a Lionel Store at the Opry Hills Mall in Nashville! Not too far away!! As for the G Scale Boxcar, I did do some research and it looks like that item (7-11541) was a special released 10th anniversary Boxcar so it might be hard to find. However, thats the thrill of the hunt!! BOLO for next year, its the 20th Anniversary of the Polar Express!!! Happy Railroading 🚂!!
