Harry Posted October 20, 2009 Share #1 Posted October 20, 2009 All aboard! Lionel, the iconic model train maker, is opening a shop for the first time in its century-long existence. The popup store will have a home across from Radio City Music Hall in equally iconic Rockefeller Center, just in time for the busy holiday tourist season. "We want to be at the epicenter of Christmas in New York City," CEO Jerry Calabrese said yesterday at Lionel's Madison Ave. corporate headquarters. The store, open Nov. 1 through Jan. 4, will show off new, kid-friendly products. If it performs well, a permanent Manhattan store might be next. Its window display will have three trains running through mountain scenery. The trains are "O gauge," built to scale at 1/48th the size of real trains.

Grand Concourse Posted October 20, 2009 Share #3 Posted October 20, 2009 This is fantastic news! I hope they have different train sets than the same Polar Express, Harry potter ones I see at FAO and the museum annex at GCT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted October 21, 2009 Share #9 Posted October 21, 2009 I hope they have 'non motor' cars. I don't think i can afford a set. And if they sell cars individually, how much would they normally be? I bought this for $40: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
