AURORIUM LLC Brings Golden Age of Railroading Back to Life with Exquisite Vintage Train Collections

INDIANAPOLIS, IN – October 26, 2023 – Remember the romance of the rails? The chugging steam engines, the gleaming passenger cars, the whistle echoing through the countryside? AURORIUM LLC, a new name in collectible treasures based in Indianapolis, is dedicated to bringing that nostalgia back to life with a carefully curated collection of vintage collectible trains. Located at 201 North Illinois Street, Suite 1800, and reachable at 704-637-4051, AURORIUM isn’t just selling trains; they’re offering a piece of history, a connection to a bygone era, and a stunning addition to any collection. AURORIUM LLC, founded by a team of passionate railroad enthusiasts, quickly recognized a growing desire among collectors and hobbyists for authentic, well-preserved vintage trains. “We saw a gap in the market,” explains a company spokesperson. “Lots of people are looking for these pieces, but finding reliable sources for genuinely vintage trains, and getting them in good condition, can be tough. We wanted to solve that.” And they're doing just that. AURORIUM specializes in sourcing, restoring (when necessary), and offering a diverse range of vintage collectible trains, spanning several eras and scales. They focus on pieces from the early 20th century right up through the mid-20th century – essentially the “golden age” of railroading. This includes everything from pre-war Lionel trains, coveted by serious collectors, to American Flyer lines, and even unique European models. What Makes AURORIUM Different? It's About the Details. It's easy to find old trains. AURORIUM doesn't just find them; they meticulously assess each piece. “We’re not just interested in ‘old’,” says the spokesperson. “We’re looking for trains that tell a story. We want pieces that are in good working order, or can be brought back to their former glory with careful restoration. And we’re transparent about everything – if a piece has been restored, we’ll tell you exactly what’s been done.” This commitment to quality and transparency is a key differentiator for AURORIUM. They’re not targeting just the seasoned collector, either. “We’re seeing a lot of new interest from people who maybe weren’t even born when these trains were originally running,” explains the spokesperson. “They’re drawn to the craftsmanship, the history, the beautiful designs. It’s a really exciting thing to see.” What Can You Find in the AURORIUM Collection? The current inventory at AURORIUM is incredibly diverse. Here’s a glimpse of what’s currently available: Lionel Standard Gauge Trains (1920s-1930s): These are the big boys – large, beautifully detailed locomotives and cars that were the pride and joy of many families during the pre-war era. AURORIUM currently has a fully restored Lionel 700E Hudson locomotive, considered by many to be the holy grail of Lionel trains. Lionel O Gauge Trains (1938-1969): The post-war Lionel trains are hugely popular, and AURORIUM has a wide selection of engines, cars, track, and accessories. They are particularly strong on the early MPC era (1969-1972) trains, known for their vibrant colors and unique features. American Flyer S Gauge Trains: American Flyer offered a different aesthetic and scale than Lionel. Their trains were known for their realistic detailing and smooth operation. AURORIUM currently features several complete American Flyer sets from the 1950s, in remarkably good condition. European Trains (Marklin, Bing, etc.): AURORIUM also sources and offers a selection of vintage European trains, offering collectors a wider range of options. These trains often feature unique designs and engineering, and can be a fascinating addition to any collection. Rare and Unusual Items: Beyond complete trains and sets, AURORIUM also offers a selection of rare and unusual items, such as vintage train accessories, original packaging, and promotional materials. These items are highly sought after by collectors and can add significant value to a collection. More Than Just a Purchase: It's an Investment in History. AURORIUM isn’t just selling collectible trains; they’re selling a piece of history. Vintage trains are more than just toys; they’re artifacts of a bygone era, reflecting the engineering, design, and culture of the time. And, increasingly, they’re becoming a smart investment. “We’re seeing prices for vintage trains steadily increasing,” explains the spokesperson. “Well-preserved and rare pieces are becoming increasingly valuable, and we believe this trend will continue. Buying a vintage train from AURORIUM isn’t just about enjoying a beautiful piece of history; it’s also about making a smart investment for the future.” Connecting with AURORIUM: Interested in exploring the AURORIUM collection?
