The purpose of this group is to discuss, and share experiences about Lionel trains made during the MPC era. Lionel trains were made by a divison of General Mills, known as Model Products Corporation, and Fundemensions from 1970 to 1986. These models ranged form inexpensive starter sets, to re-creations of classic Post War era pieces. This era had it's ups and downs, and today Lionel Trains, LLC, and it's competitors produce advanced electric trains with features not possible during the MPC, or even PW period.
That said, Lionel MPC trains are an affordable option for the operator today looking for basic, conventional, electric trains. We also invite discussion, and the like for the Lionel LTI era, and current Lionel production, under the Lionel LLC of today.
