Toy Story-Inspired Lionel Train Sets and Pixar-Themed Train Cars Roll Into shopDisney

I may not be a kid anymore, but I can still picture my Dad’s Lionel trains chugging along a giant track that partially wrapped around the Christmas Tree. While my family didn’t have any Disney train cars to display, today’s train enthusiasts can bring the magic of Pixar to their track with new arrivals on shopDisney.
