E3 2013 First Look: Lionel Electronic’s ‘Battle Train’

“When roads are a distant memory, people depend solely on trains for their very survival.”

Lionel Trains has made models trains for well over 100 years (since 1900 to be exact). The company’s electronics division, Lionel Electronic, is much younger, first established in the Fall of last year. Lionel Electronic is on the verge of releasing a brand new app called Battle Train which will be released sometime in July. Battle Train will release on iOS App Store, and will be free to play.

Lionel Electronic has various other digital initiatives set to launch over the Summer, so look for more info on those soon! For anyone who loves trains, this app looks like a fun one to play. It brings out a sense of nostalgia, and definitely brings you back to the days of playing with train sets when you were younger. However, now you can play with that train and take it into BATTLE!
