1937 LOCOSCOPE

The LOCOSCOPE was available two different ways. The first, was as a free gift to anyone who took out a two year subscription to Model Builder Magazine.

The second way was associated with the 1939 World's Fair in New York. The LOCOSCOPE pictured here is that one, with a Filmstrip of "New York World's Fair Locomotives."


1902 Lionel #200 Gondola

Made out of wood with the "FAN" wet cell battery operated motor. This model was used in New York City Window displays.

Our research indicates that this variation - wood with brass trim - was probably assembled by Joshua Lionel Cowen himself. There are 9 known to exist.
