NASCAR or National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing is one of the most popular car racing events in the world. Although NASCAR started in the United States of America, it has expanded its operations to nearby countries such as Canada and Mexico. Apart from this, it has also held exhibitions in countries as far as Australia and Japan. With over 50 years of history, the racing events of NASCAR such as the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series have gained millions of fans all over the world. Because of its popularity, Lionel, one of the most popular manufacturers of toy trains has come up with a NASCAR-inspired train set called Lionel Nascar Train Set.
Lionel Nascar Train Set is unlike any other Lionel train sets available in the market. It features a colourfully designed engine, tank car, billboard-decorated flatcar, well-lit caboose and boxcar topped with a trophy fit for a NASCAR champion. Moreover, the train’s locomotive is characterized by bright operational headlights, sturdy frame and powerful motors. This version also includes strobe lights and a Train Sounds system producing NASCAR-related sounds such as squeaking brakes and talking engineers giving a more realistic feel to the whole package. Of course like other Lionel train sets, the trademark three straight and eight elliptical FasTracks, easy to operate transformer and a FasTrack terminal are also present.
Like any other product in the market, a cheap Lionel Nascar Train Set also has its fair share of negative reviews. However, this does not damper the popularity of this train set. Although it is a tall order to create a train set bearing the logo of NASCAR, this particular train set have proved worthy. Without a doubt, the use of NASCAR as a theme is a great idea and the success of the new Lionel Nascar Train Set proves this.
