Small Scale Christmas at Jerry's Garage

Somehow Christmas and electric toy trains have been deeply connected since they were invented.

Generations of kids have woke-up on Christmas morning to find an electric train running around the family Christmas Tree and they have been hooked ever since! And they frequently pass on this tradition to their children and even their Grandchildren. All thanks to Mr. Cowenʼs fascination of the technology and mechanisms associated with the locomotive.

Joshua Lionel Cowen was amazed by the trains and their ability to transport people around the United States. Passing his knowledge onto his children and other children at the same time ... old Lionel model trains were born as a result. It has been over a hundred years since Cowen unveiled his vision and began producing toy trains and model railroad paraphernalia for people to buy.
