Legends & Legacies Thirteen year old boy with his model train in 1942 photographed by Marjory Collins. Library of Congress/Courtesy photo Those of you who were not alive in the 1950s may be connected to toy trains through Thomas the Tank Engine. Thomas revived train toy sales that had rapidly declined beginning in the 1960s. The decade of the 1950s was the height, and I was one of the many boys who delighted in them. Toy trains go back to the 19th century, and the first electric toy trains appeared in America in 1897. Interest in Aspen increased when The Aspen Times ran an article “Electricity in Modern Toys.” Since Aspen homes had had electricity for the previous two decades, having a train for a child that was powered by electricity including lights was an easy step. But no model train was advertised until 1919 when the Kay Stores Company offered “trains that run on tracks.”
