[1] Joshua Lionel Cowen,a New York inventor,was born in l 877.In 1 900,he created maybe the most popular Christmas toy of the last century —little electric trains that circle Christmas trees.More than 50 million Lionel train sets have been sold worldwide,and today Lionel produces more than 300 miles of track each year.

[3] As a 23-year-old working at an electric fan company,Cowen dreamed up putting a little battery—powered fan motor onto a wooden toy train he called the Electric Express.He took it to a toy store,and they put it in the window to replace a train you had to push around by hand.Within days,Christmas shoppers snapped up six Lionel trains, and the company business took off.

[4]While there were many toy train companies—the first electric train was exhibited at the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago—Cowen’s invention beat them a11.probably because he tied it to Christmas and produced the toy villages and other things to put around the tree and the train.Still,competition has not stopped.Today there are many companies making toy trains of all sizes,some on tracks using electricity,some on the floor using wind-up springs(发条).

[5] One of the best places in Washington to see a big toy train display is the U.S.Botanic Garden.The big glass building at the foot of the U.S.Capitol has a single train running in one room and a bunch of trains in another big room.____________________________ is one of the most popular holiday attractions in the city.
