However, it was the accidental creation of an 'Electric Express,' a motorized toy train designed to be a window display, that paved the road for Lionel's future. In 1901, this Electric Express became so popular that it transformed Lionel into a pre-eminent model train manufacturer. Among many interesting facts about Lionel, during World War II, the company contributed to the war effort by using their resources to manufacture military related items.
