The Lionel Trains Polar Express Train Set is one of the most popular trains that Lionel has ever produced. Lionel manufactures toy trains and is focused on creating miniature replicas of the actual models. The founder, Joshua Lionel Cowen, created his first toy train in the 1900’s, and since then encouraged young boys and their fathers to share play time together with the toy trains. There is something about trains that amazes boys and it sparks their interest on how it works, what the parts are called, the way it moves, and how it is operated. It is especially more interesting for kids that have ridden an actual train.
One of the most exciting new Lionel Trains is the Polar Express train set, as depicted in the movie with Tom Hanks as the main voice-character. The model has details just like an actual Berkshire steam locomotive, with the head lights, the whistle, the tender, the passenger cars, and the tracks. An added feature of the Lionel Trains Polar Express train set is the miniature figures of The Polar Express characters, including Santa Claus. These miniature figures have movable arms, legs, head and waist, making them flexible and they can be placed to sit in the train. The kids’ imagination will go further with the complete set of train and character figures. The train set even has a smoke fluid to create a steam effect, plus the sound of the train and the whistle. When the Lionel Train Polar Express train set is run with your eyes closed, the sound makes you feel like you are actually riding the train!
The initial motivation of Joshua Lionel Cowen to have father and son bonding moments over toy trains is still relevant today. It motivates kids to learn more about trains, at the same time, it encourages fathers to share more time with their sons. Lionel Trains are not just about trains, but it is also about strengthening father and son relationships, regardless of their ages.
