That could be true. Neil Young is a huge Lionel train fan (as am I). He was their spokesperson for a while.
His two sons are disabled, and Neil pushed for the development of The Big Red Button. It's literally a big red pushbutton that you can connect to any accessory (Lionel has hundreds of them) and it will activate it. The boys have cerebral palsy, and don't have much mobility, but they can push The Big Red Button and sound the horn or make the coal car dump out or whatever.
