Lionel Trains Visitor Center

Chesterfield, MI 48051

map | website | comment

These days, the ubiquitous steam engine Thomas seems to have replaced the little engine that could in the minds of children, but Lionel model trains, predating both by virtue of a 1900 birth year, are something else entirely. Any grandchild who loves trains will be spellbound in the Lionel Trains Visitor’s Center, where after viewing a short video history of the company's trains and watching ten trains operate without collision on a 14x40 foot table, everybody gets a chance to play conductor.
