The Lionel Adventures system looks interesting and might be a good and fun way to get youngsters and parents into the hobby. It sounds user friendly and pretty much plug and play with a remote control.
Glad to hear the 2012 Christmas boxcar is going to be made in the U.S. I collect the Lionel Christmas cars and plan on getting one every year. Even nicer knowing it is going to be made in the U.S.
Looking forward to the Lionel Christmas catalog.
Thanks for posting the link to the video.
