a must have for any train fan!! beautifully crafted and actually makes the sound of a train when u turn it on.

Several years ago, my wife bought me two different Lionel train lamps at a local Lowes store (way cheaper than what is listed here). After a short while (less than a year), nothing worked on either lamp ~ neither the light nor the operating train. Made of pure, cheap plastic with parts that probably burn through (I purposely used low wattage lights to make sure the lamps didn't overheat but they still burned out WAY TOO SOON). BUYER BEWARE unless you have the tools and know-how to carefully break open plastic components & rewire/replace with lamp parts that will actually last. This is not a knock against these Amazon sellers; the product itself looks sharp but is poorly contructed due to cheap, electrical parts.

Despite the fact that this lamp looks solid and classic (looks like a real wooden base in the photo with a glass shade), it is actually 100% plastic. We have had it for 7 months and I would not buy it again, nor would I recommend it to anyone with children. The lamp makes a low crackling sound for several minutes after we shut it off, like it settling down after getting too hot (though the bulb we use is the wattage specified by the manufacturer). I never feel very safe when this thing is on, and certainly won't ever leave it unattended or on for too long. Cheap plastic construction.

I bought this lamp for my grandson who just turned nine. He loves all types of trains and wanted a train lamp for his room. He really likes this lamp for on top of his desk. He can turn the sound off if he wants quiet; otherwise he likes hearing the train whistle and watching the wheels turn. I would definitely recommend this lamp.

I bought this for my 6 year old's room knowing he would have it for years to come. He is 10 years old now, and the lamp is still working great! It is for people of all ages.

I bought this for my 9 year old nephew for Christmas, since he loves trains and wanted train items to decorate his bedroom. As soon as he opened it he had to plug it in the watch the train wheels turn and blow the whistle. I search a few sites to find the best price, Amazon was the best by far.
