Lionel Non-trains

Five more:

And still more!

The glory rolls on!

The saga continues!

End of the line...for now. But Folks, if you have a photo of a Lionel non-train, please post it here.

Found another folder with more photos

Found a few more in another folder; the delivery truck is real.

Found three more!

I like the tin plate boat.  It’s fuel efficient and doesn’t require much maintenance  

I stole this off another thread. It's a Lionel bubbling oil derrick.

Hi

was that 6-58632 pick up truck actually produced?

Lionel also made chemistry sets, sold under the Lionel-Porter name. I had this one as a youngster, given to me for Christmas. It gave me hours of fun, mixing up my own safe concoctions. Here is a brochure, detailing the various chemistry sets available, including those from Lionel.

How about Lionel themed time pieces?  They marketed wall and desk clocks along with wrist and pocket watches.  I have some of all of these.  This one hangs in my den where I do train repairs.  The train on the perimeter goes around each hour accompanied by various train themed sound effects.

Glad to hear from you, Buddy! Can you show us which photo you are referring to?

Rolland, I have seen people rave about those Lionel clocks on other forums. The train that travels around once an hour rarely works now, but the clocks that work still keep accurate time.

If you want to prepare a hot snack while playing with your train, Lionel had just what you needed. I doubt this would be accepted in this day and age - too dangerous for little kids, ya know.

"...two working burners and an oven..."

That's to keep your daughter too busy to play with your trains.

In 1930 Lionel offered a realistic stove for girls. Standing about 34 inches tall, the stove featured a working oven with built-in thermometer, two functioning electric burners, and a clean porcelain finish. Lionel’s oven bore an amazing likeness to a real kitchen stove, constructed, Lionel advertised, “as substantially as the one Mother uses.” Such a well-made toy, however, came at a cost. And therein lies the stove’s demise: Lionel introduced its authentic-in-every-detail stove in the year after the U.S. economy tanked, signaling the start of the Great Depression. According to Ron Hollander’s All Aboard! The Story of Joshua Lionel Cowen and His Lionel Train Company (2000), the toy stove, at $29.50, cost as much as Mom’s gas stove. Purchasing the toy stove commanded more than a public school teacher made in a week in the 1930s. At a time when Americans faced 25 percent unemployment, few could afford such a toy. 

Good post, Leo. I had never heard about this one.

I would have thought these items would be considered trains.  

If not then you could include a wealth of track, lockons, pins, trestles, switches, buildings, and action accessories as non-train items also.

Vincent, that will cost you $1,000,000.00! That my photo you stole.

Just kidding, I'm honored you posted it. Arnold

Just as well. You wouldn't have a chance against my legal team.

Track.... Hmmmm….. I hadn't thought of that.....

That Postwar 282 gantry crane is my favorite. Arnold

Correction, it's a 3 way tie between the gantry crane above, and the operating water tower (the one with the water pump) and the dispatching station below:

Hi

Thanks for the info.

I am under the impression it was cancelled and not made?

 I saw one of these stoves in a collection. The former owner was in low income housing and had apparently been using it to prepare her meals. This wasn’t a toy so much as it was an inexpensive cooking appliance.

I've got one of the more simplified telegraph keys I got a yard sale without even realizing it was Lionel until I got it home.

A Boy Scout camp I worked for back in 2009 had a box of about 20 geiger counters.  As I recall about a third were Lionel, a third were GE, and the other third were another company, maybe Westinghouse.  All were of the same design and some had Civil Defense logos and markings.  Had most of the matching dosimeter pens and chargers as well.

Does anyone know how many "LIONEL ELECTRONIC LABORATORIES" there were?

I had a Lionel Weather Station as a kid in the 60s.
