Hunches sometimes turn into great ideas; combine the great idea with an inquisitive mind, tinker with it, fabricate it, test it, sprinkle in a dash of creativity and a handful of innovation; and you’ll find a common thread among the Inventors. Thomas Edison played with two elements, and lit up the world; Alexander Grahm Bell experimented with hearing devices- creating the Telephone, making miles between relatives of no consequence. Bill Gates winds up being one of the greatest Computer Software Inventors – which the world relies on. Steve Jobs started with a crude computer in the 70′s, and what is the world left with – Smart Phone mania! And then we have Lionel Cowen that whittled a small train, saw a circular push train in a lower-manhattan store and knew he had to add power to a train; added a battery and thus gifted American families with the Lionel Pedal Train Cars for the last 100 years. Great things are born because of a passion that burns inside, to mold and idea, to grasp the difference that can set it apart, and finally to perfect and deliver that distinction!

Why some toys just seem to live on and on, must be rooted in something more than their physical charm so apparent. There must be an intrinsic value embedded in some of the famous toys that have lived on for next to a century now. When Lionel whittled a miniature locomotive from a piece of wood, that only speaks to his creativity, and saw a “Push Train” in a lower Manhattan Store window, he knew he had to invent a circular track and apply the battery to it – the rest is history. This electric driven phenomenon had a lasting common value – that is American Moms and Dads could sit down after dinner with their children, and could enjoy not only the “Lionel Wonder” but the “Family Circle” as well. Truly – it’s value given has contributed to becoming an Iconic Legend, symbolized by the Lionel Pedal Train Cars of today. Several designers are responsible for the innovation and invention of Pedal Trains, but no one else can claim as much credit for this charming creation. Lionel in the early 1900′s was a natural “Tinkerer” and “Inventor, would create the Electric Train, that is used today across America, and regarded as an Iconic Collectible.

I can remember as a young boy of about 8 years, making a Ferris Wheel out of 1000′s of tooth picks and a lot of Elmer’s glue. Remembering returning to the project for a few more hours, with great anticipation of figuring out how to build it, and make it functional and proportionate. When it clicked up-stairs, how to build the rotating seats, how to build the framework( foundation) around the Ferris Wheel and allow it’s rotation as well; then I can kinda relate to how Lionel Cowen must have felt when he whittled a miniture locomotive from wood. It took a lot of patience and perseverance for Lionel to figure out his design, after seeing his first “Push Train” in a lower-Manhattan store. Once he saw that train, the light-bulb came on- he knew almost instantly; he had to come up with a circular track and apply a battery to it- the rest is history. Lionel Pedal Train Cars drew admiration from Model Railroaders around the world for the solidity of their construction and authenticity of detail.The trains were considered a luxury Toy, at the height of the Depression, one of Lionel’s Locomotives cost as much as a used Ford Model T. Lionel’s colorful Santa Fe “Warbonnet” became the Icon for Lionel Company. The historic founder of Lionel trains, Joshua Lionel Cowen, took the original wooden toy train and turned it’s concept into an electric motor driven phenomenon that is still popular today. Lionel has sold over 50 million trains set and is one of the top 10 toys of the 20th century

Lionel Cowen was walking thru Lower Manhattan stopping at a Toy Store window where he saw, among the toys, a Push Train. Here is where he had a vision of going around a Circle Track. This vision launched an Iconic Legend. Lionel’s first trains were powered by battery, soon replaced by the 110-volt electric transformer. No Toy benefited more from electricity, than Trains. With the rising popularity of cars and their changes from Model T’s to the more familiar enclosed versions that became commonplace in the 20′s and 30′s, pedal cars were created for children who loved to imagine themselves driving on the open roads in their own vehicle. Pretty soon they were followed by a plethora of different car models, planes and pedal trains. Soon Fathers were inspired to join their offspring in Model Train Hobbies, lending itself to a richer Family Circle. With growing popularity, Lionel’s layouts sprung up in more living rooms across America, and became an Icon as we know it today.
