Lionel “Girl’s Train”
| Description: |
Introduced in 1957, Lionels Girls Train was a dismal failure in the stores. It may have been because girls who were interested in trains wanted one that looked like a real train, not like a gimmicky pastel-colored toy. Because so few were sold, the set is a valuable collectors item today. |
