Lionel Trains, Train Sets, Model Trains
Growing up, I was always intrigued with miniature things. I had so many tiny miniatures and loved them all. One of my favorite miniatures was my brothers train set. My dad had built a table for it and added roads, trees, small houses and of course the beloved train set with little people!
I would go in the garage all the time to watch this train and make-believe with it. It was so awesome! Now that I am grown up, I still love all things miniature, but now, so do my kids. And my son just recently became super interested in train sets! That really excited me 🙂
One place that caught my eye, that has lots of really neat train sets, trains, model trains and more, is Lionel Remote Operating System Thomas & Friends™ Set 
I loved how quickly this arrived and soon my son and hubby (and daughter too!) were busily putting this together! It took no time at all and soon my kids were really enjoying this fun train set!
It is small and perfect for our home. It comes with Thomas the Tank Engine™ and his faithful coaches Annie and Clarabel. We got this train set, because it is ideal for just starting this hobby or for setting up a temporary layout on the floor. This does require 3 AAA batteries which are not included. So that is the only thing you will need to make this go!
My kids have so much fun making this go slow then speeding it up to go super super fast! They laugh their heads off at this! It really does speed up quickly! They set up little Lego men and really make the surrounding area of the train set super cute and fun!
It is a great train set and well made. The quality of this train set is certainly there and with a name like Lionel standing behind it, how could it not be of great quality? Lionel has been around forever!

Trains have been a favorite of children from the time of Moses, OK< not that long, but my grandpa loved trains and bought a set of Lionel trains and each Christmas he would bring it out and make it go around the tree.

My youngest grandson has just become interested in trains and it sounds, from your review, that this would be a good one for him to get, and easy for me to put together too.

I always enjoyed train sets as a child. My dad always had them for us. This set looks terrific and lots of fun and well made also. Anything with Thomas the Tank Engine is so cute too.
Joanne Gregory says
Such a cute train set. And most dads love playing with them as much as the little guys. Especially if they didn’t have a train set of their own as children. And this is just the start – I know several retired men who have devoted an entire room of their home to setting up and playing with trains!
Alicia Keen says

We love Thomas and since My husband’s grandpa and his uncle work for the railroad, my son is obsessed. He loves visiting his uncle and seeing all the train and getting to see how they work. Thank you for the review!
Michele P. says
my grandfather worked on the railroad for many years, so trains were a big part of our life. My 2 & 3 year old grandsons are loving Thomas and I hope one day to get them a nice model train set.
Sandra Beeman says
I hope every child would get to play with a train set by Lionel. They certainly are the best and longest-lasting.
