In 1900 Joshua Lionel Cowen founded the Lionel Manufacturing Co. near New York City Hall and began production on the Electric Express, the first Lionel train displayed and designed for window shopping. In 1902 the first catalog was produced. The catalog featured the Electric Trolley and Suspension Bridge. In 1903, the first electric locomotive debuted. In 1906 Lionel introduced the 3-rail track system, standard gauge. In 1915, the small, less expensive "O" gauge trains were introduced. In 1918, the name of the company was changed to The Lionel Corporation. In 1958, Lionel introduced HO gauge. This company continues to expand and delight train enthusiasts of all ages.
