Trains and Christmas trees are two things that have long been linked. But why and how did the tradition start? And why are so many people drawn to the idea of having a toy train under their tree?
But why and how did the tradition start? And why are so many people drawn to the idea of having a toy train under their tree?“It's fun to watch their eyes go as big as a dinner plate and their jaw hit the floor,” owner Dale Spaulding said."The trains come out at Christmas time... It's just kind of nice.”
That railroad lineage that runs through Utah was the talk of children as many kids dreamed of traveling on the famous trains that pulled through stations in the state. “In those days, hardware companies were the ones that sold toys, and amongst the toys that they sold were Lionel Trains," he said. Joshua Lionel Cowen walked into a local store and had the idea to build what became dubbed the Electric Express.
By the 50s and 60s, trains from all sorts of companies were growing in popularity — and that’s right around the time that Spaulding tried to go into a local hobby shop to find Lionel Trains. The collection he has is very impressive — replicating sets from old catalogs, TV shows, and even Ogden in the 1950s which also mimics the setup in that hardware store he frequented as a boy.
