HISTORIC
LAYOUT SERIES
---We are proud and excited to announce
the beginning of a new series of accessory products called the
Historic Layout Series. Working in conjunction with the owners
of the country’s most recognized and beloved train layout
attractions, we will be replicating fun, whimsical and prototypical
accessories from their layouts. Often hand-built, and typically
one of a kind, these accessories will now be able to become part
of your very own collection.
---The first offerings in this series
can be found on the famous Miniature Railroad & Village™
layout of the Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Founded Christmas Eve, 1920, by Pennsylvania native Charles Bowdish,
this Lionel-only layout has become one of the biggest, most-visited
layout attractions in the country. What’s more, Lionel has
had a relationship of support with the layout for more than 50
years. We are pleased to team up with the Miniature Railroad &
Village to kick off this new series. A portion of the proceeds
from the sale of each of the four products on this page will be
donated to the Miniature Railroad & Village to support ongoing
operations.
