Lionel Dealership
Dolton, IL
Photo and info courtesy Richard Weiss

Just up the road from the Pizza by Geneo in Dolton, IL we came across the old Lionel dealer. This was not actually a vintage sign. We talked to the owner who mentioned that this shop opened in 1941 and had been moved from across the street in the town of Phoenix. The place had not been updated since the shop moved and originally they also repaired TV's and radios. The store was loaded with vintage Lionel trains. The original sign outside was a backlit plastic affair for TV repair but he told us kids kept throwing rocks at it so he had someone make up this Lionel sign and no one has tossed a rock at it yet. 11-09
