User questions & answers

Question:	Descripción del producto
Answer:	Lots of train accessories @train world.com
Question:	Where do I find the tunnels and stations ect
Answer:	I added three extra passenger cars and a small amount of extra track. The engine pulls with ease on a flat service. I posted a video recently and ran the train very slowly to capture close ups as I also added passengers to the cars. The engine was only at 15% power. At 60% it flies. Clean track and good solid connections are key. This is using the wall wart power supply which is included with the set.
Question:	Can it pull the 2 extra add ons
Answer:	Won’t let me leave a video in the comment, or I would. This a great set though. I even went and got the two additional cars.
Question:	Does anyone who has purchased this train set mind posting a video of the train in action? It would be great to hear the horn, bell, announcements
Answer:	If the switch for smoke is in the on position per guide pages 11 and 15 and you have added smoke fluid then smoke should operate when the locomotive starts to run. I have found with other locos that if smoke fails to appear after a short period carefully blow down the chimney to clear a possible airlock. I am not saying this works every time but worth a try.

User questions & answers

Question:	Why won't the smoke work
Answer:	Yes, each section has 1 or 2 holes which go right through the plastic through which screws can be put through into wood or anything else underneath. Do not screw it down to solid as if the temperature goes up and down then the track expands and contracts and the track can be distorted. I find a screw here and there is enough.
Question:	can the tracks be secured to plywood
Answer:	The cars have a plastic top and a steel pressed chassis with metal wheels and axles. The tender is the same with the loudspeaker only in it. The locomotive has a die cast upper removable body. The chassis is a mixture of metal and composite plastic. All the electronics are in tge locomotive.
Question:	Is the engine die cast metal
Answer:	I recently bought one of these sets and it was made for the 2017 season. The associated books are copyright 2017. We are now in 2017 and it looks like Lionel do a Lioncheif extra for some models with more facilities on the remote and better announcements. However this works well and the bell,, whistle, and chuff work very well. The volume of the sound can be changed from the handset with even more changes possible on bluetooth. Bluetooth seems to only work on an i phone or android.
Question:	What year is this model? Is it the most current? There is another one listed for $227.99, what is the difference
Answer:	Good luck finding it, we never did. Ordered 3 of them, 2 for the grandkids. Set up ours before xmas and was VERY disappointed in it. I was told there was a switch, but could not find it. Could not keep train on the track. Thought the cars were very light and cheaply made. We returned all 3 sets. Asked others for their opinions, and they all thought it was pretty much junk. I was excited for this for the kids, but knew it was junk.

User questions & answers

Question:	how long is each train car
Answer:	No
Question:	Does it have smoke
Answer:	I doubt it. Only because of the width. the figures might float around at the waist. But if the figures are 8" high, then you might be fine.
Question:	Does it work with the black ez track I already have
Answer:	Yes, they will work on these figures, but the waist will be a little loose. For a snugger fit, try the 20SMB here: http://smile.amazon.com/Kaiser-Doll-Stand-20SMB-small-waisted/dp/B00TIYFDII/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1459432855&sr=8-1&keywords=kaiser+20smb

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this train be used outdoors
Answer:	Yes, it can puffs a little steam which looks like smoke.
Question:	Are there additional cars sold separately
Answer:	No, TEMI has no separate tracks available for sale anywhere. You'd basically need to buy a whole full set to get more tracks.
Question:	Are the cargo boxes removable
Answer:	UPDATE: Water DOES work, and very well. If you put it in the correct hole, which is not obvious given that there are no real instructions. There is a bit.ly site given to watch in place of printed instructions, but the site does. not work because the "youtube account has been terminated." A second problem was the train kept jumping the track. Very slightly loosening the screw holding the front wheel assembly on the engine (like 1/4 turn) fixed this. The train is now better than expected for the price. Just be prepared to figure out a few things without instructions and MAYBE make an few small adjustments.
Question:	Can you buy extra tracks
Answer:	I thought the very same thing when I ordered it. However, it just happens to fit perfectly in the space that I set aside for it. I do not know why we cannot get extra tracks. Perhaps if we could, I might have picked a different space? I hope this helps.

About Us

When Lionel founder Joshua Lionel Cowen's immigrant family arrived in New York after the Civil War, the railroads were literally America's engines of progress. The "Golden Spike" meeting of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific lines in 1869 unified the continent and signaled the birth of a world power. Cowen was born in 1877, just before Edison's first electric light. He grew up with real trains, amid dizzying change. Around the time he founded Lionel in 1900, passenger lines like the peerless Twentieth Century Limited symbolized American technology and sophistication.

Cowen was already a successful inventor when he created his first toy train. But The Electric Express and its offspring soon became a sacred mission, and Cowen would spend a lifetime stoking America's imagination with the romance of the rails. He told boys that Lionels would prepare them for adulthood. Soon Dads too were encouraged to join Youngsters in model train enthusiasm, to future father-son bonding. With growing prosperity, Lionel's layouts cropped up in more living rooms, especially at Christmas. Before mid-century, railroads were our economic lifeblood, as well as cultural icons -- but it was not to last.

And when Americans started driving to suburbia and flying cross-country, they stopped buying Lionel trains. By the 1960s, freight lines were being scrapped, and fathers and sons were on opposite sides of the "generation gap." That decade saw the tragic demise of New York's Pennsylvania Station, the retirement of The Twentieth Century Limited, and the passing of Joshua Lionel Cowen.

But now the Lionel dream is back and better than ever. As Lionel looks to the future, it strives to ignite the imaginations and hearts of today’s children and adults through continued success with branded and licensed products, an increased presence in the digital space and recapturing its rightful place “under the tree.” Through partnerships with evergreen brands such as NASCAR, Warner Bros., Crayola, Coca-Cola, John Deere and many others, Lionel has lined itself up for success for many years to come. With innovative products such as the LCS, iCab, Battle Trains, Lionel Tracks and a revamped, more user-friendly Lionel, the 115-year-old company has made sure it stays on the cutting-edge of technology. The Lionel name has always been synonymous with Christmas and a train set under every Christmas tree, and now more than ever the company’s ensuring that they are a major player in any holiday plans. For Lionel, the future is indeed bright.
