Lionel is an iconic American brand, and I often hear people refer to it as a made-in-the-USA company. But it’s been a long time since that’s been where Lionel trains are made. Or at least the majority. It turns out Lionel has a bit of a history with that.
Most Lionel trains were made in the United States through the 1970s. Moving production out of the United States was not a popular move, but since 2001, the majority of Lionel’s product line has been made in South Korea or China by contract manufacturers.
