About the solution
Neil’s sons have limitations. Zeke has cerebral palsy and Ben is a quadriplegic. They played with train models, so the singer built the TrainMaster Command Control system, an electronic control system for O scale 3-rail model trains and toy trains that mainly ran from 1994 to 2006.
The invention allows the operation of multiple trains on the same track without complex wiring, and also gives locomotives realistic digitized sounds. It benefits the users as they can move around their layout while still being in control of their trains. It introduced new features like whistle, bell, chugging, diesel roar, electro-couplers, and the ability to turn RailSounds on or of.
The musician created a research and development company, Liontech, to help the storied Lionel, LLC train manufacturing company, founded in 1900, create model trains with sound systems and control units. The production of this technology was funded by Neil Young, as part of a partnership between Young and one-time Lionel company owner Richard Kughn. The partnership was known as Liontech.
Neil submitted his design, as well as six others, to the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
