Welcome to Lionel Trains!

For over 100 years, the name Lionel has been synonymous with high-quality model trains that have been enjoyed by children – and adults – all over the world. Founded in 1900 by Joshua Lionel Cowen, Lionel Trains has managed to instill their love of trains in everyone who has bought one of their products.

Now, with the world renewing its love of trains, Lionel is both rekindling old traditions and inventing new ways to please today’s model train fans both young and old. It is with that spirit that we present Lionel Trains on the Nintendo DS™ Video Game system.

Object of the Game

The object of Lionel Trains is to create a train empire by building tracks in between cities and then using trains to haul cargo from one city to another. For each delivery, you will be paid based on the demand for that cargo in the city. You can also make more money by creating Cargo Chains – where you take a specific type of cargo to a city that can change it to cargo that is worth more money. (Cargo Chains are explained in more detail later.)

By doing this, you can get well on your way to accomplishing one of many goals that the game will give you or that you can set for yourself. For instance, Campaign Mode will require you to connect a number of cities together, research different technologies, or make a certain amount of money before you can progress. You will have to figure out the best strategy for expanding out your tracks, reaching new cities, and becoming more efficient as you work towards meeting these goals.

When you have expanded across the world and built a trains empire, you will truly be a Lionel Trains Master!
