No toy train is better known than O gauge trains. O gauge trains were masters of the model train market in this country until the 1950s. Oh those giant hardware store display trains that took hold of us as children. Around Christmas the local hardware store would put one up and watch as it drew us all as bees to flowers. Competitors like Bachmann and financial woes have long since undone Lionel's supremacy, but the brand still carries a lot of its former cachet. This is why:
Lionel Trains are built in O gauge:Part of the explanation why Lionel fell from grace in the post World War II era was because of the scale of its trains. Lionel trains were usually in O gauge, but with the growth of model training in the 50's more and more middle class model train hobbyists began to purchase trains for smaller spaces. O gauge trains are one 48th the size of real world trains and require an 8' x 16' space as a minimum. Real world trains are just 48 times the size of O scale model trains. This was simply too big of a space requirement, so fans turned to HO scale which only required a 4' x 8' space. So the unusual O scale that makes it such a draw for hobbyists today is also what almost drove the company under in the 60's.
Lionel's long history makes it a hobbyist's favorite: Because Lionel has been around for so long and was so popular in yesteryear it is one of the favorites among collectors. We cannot say enough about the nostalgia that Lionel inspires. Long lost memories come chugga-chugging out of dark tunnels of the subconscious when you see one of these classic trains. Lionel's durability also has allowed it to remain in the hearts of hobbyists.
You'll find no lack of manuals and news items on Lionel: Lionel's got its own little universe of devoted enthusiasts including the rocker Neil Young. Lionel books come in two flavors. First, there are books that are specifically devoted to getting you started with model training using Lionel O gauge trains. Second, a ton of books trace Lionel's exemplary history.
Finally, Lionel is popular because they just made good trains: Ahh, the engineering of Lionel trains! Larger than most other trains, they are ideal for detailing and decaling and weathering. The size of Lionel trains make it a favorite among people who love to paint and detail model trains. The scale is also a big aesthetic draw for hobbyist's who value beauty. You simply can't ignore a Lionel train.
Regardless of the company's finances, Lionel O gauge should be a mainstay for the foreseeable future. Even if Lionel declares itself bankrupt, hobbyists will continue to collect its long history of trains. Lionel never disappoints.
