We think it's a tribute to our products and our attitude that no one has ever outgrown a Lionel train. Many "seniors" have the Lionel train they had as children still running in their basement or around the tree at Christmas. Whether they're young or young at heart, everyone, of every generation, can share in the excitement and the fun. You don't have to be born before or after a certain date to be comfortable with our products. There are no gadgets or technologies to learn. If you can imagine it -- you can do it.

"One of the most important things a child does is play. Play is the essential joy of childhood and is also the way children learn about themselves. As they play, children learn to solve problems, get along with other people, and control their bodies as they enrich their creativity and develop leadership skills. Children bring boundless energy
and imagination to their play with toys and are constantly developing new and
creative ways to play. Toys thus have an exciting role in helping children to become mature, confident and imaginative adults."
