OPERATING ACCESSORIES

To add fun and excitement to your layout, there is nothing better than authentic Lionel operating accessories. From postwar favorites to brand new classics, only Lionel offers the best selection at the best prices.

153IR Controller™
Lionel’s newest offering in the world of layout accessory control is the 153IR Controller™. Using infrared, the 153IR sends a signal across your tracks. When the signal is reflected, the accessory to which the 153IR is connected begins to operate. Controls for time delay (from zero to five seconds) and signal sensitivity give the 153IR tremendous flexibility in controlling the exact moment you want your accessory to operate. Designed into a realistic, die-cast track-side building, the 153IR looks at home on any layout. Several can be placed around your layout and won’t look out of place like some plastic models on the market today. Powered by a removable track clip or from an auxiliary power supply, the 153IR is a model of flexibility and control.

Hobo Hotel
Set in the old west, camped in front of a long-abandoned Santa Fe reefer, a group of friendly hobos pass the night away in front of their warm, comforting fire. A hot meal simmers over the open flame. Taunts of “King me!” echo through the still night air from the checkers game waging in front of the tall, cool pines. The sound of the campfire, crackling as it consumes its wooden fuel, is drowned out by melodic chords strummed on an old guitar. Transport yourself back in time with Lionel’s Hobo Hotel. Adorned with realistic decoration, pewter figures and an actual Lionel reefer body, this accessory is sure to stand out on your layout. Turn on the campfire by twisting the rusted trash can, and let the fun begin!

Pedestrian Walkover
Help your layout’s pedestrians span the tracks safely with this all-new Pedestrian Walkover. Constructed of detailed molded plastic, this sturdy walking bridge spans two track sections. What’s more, an exciting deluxe version of the Walkover is also available that actually determines the speed of your passing engines! Equipped with two infrared sensors, the Pedestrian Walkover with Scale Speed Sensor indicates the instantaneous velocity of your trains on its controller’s LCD screen. You will have hours of fun watching the numbers go higher as you open the throttle! Conveniently priced, you will be able to add several Walkovers to your layout to create the look you want!
