Title
National Toy Train Museum - Toy Trains for All Ages
Description
The National Toy Train Museum exhibits hundreds of historic toy trains, and operates layouts in standard gauge, O, S, G, Z, and HO scale.
Toy trains are for kids of all ages! While real trains go back to the advent of the Industrial Revolution in the early 1800s, toy trains emerged later. Wooden and metal toys resembling trains were first made in Europe in the 1860s.
By 1901, Lionel made its first electric train for use in store display windows. A number of famous manufacturers, including Lionel, American Flyer, Marx, Marklin, and LGB have made toy trains. Some of the most historic ones are on display in the National Toy Train Museum. These are commonly referred to as tinplate trains.
