Athearn Loco

The Polar Express Christmas story train lifts the spirits of most people at Christmas time. And what is even better is putting together your very own Christmas train set. For the few who are unaware. A wonderful Christmas story was written around the Famous Polar Express sometime back around 1985. In 2004 this book was turned into an animated movie that does a wonderful job of warming the hearts families to this very day.

We owe special thanks to one of the best model train manufactures for making reproductions of this treasured Christmas Train. Lionel has made reproductions in painstaking detail.

Some think it is just not Christmas without a good Christmas story for the family. Thanks to Lionel's tribute to the movie "The Polar Express" you can feel the whistle blast warning the family ol' Ralphie is on his way to save Christmas aboard the Polar Express. The very powerful 0-8-0 steam locomotive roars down the tracks hauling the colorful freight cars in tow billowing puffs smoke.

The model trains have become a very popular attraction over the years. You can find them in different scale versions. The most popular is the HO model scale because of the precision used in detail not to mention the durability.

The N scale Polar Express train set is the smallest of model trains manufactured in the industry. Small is the order of the day at 1:160th of the original size means that these models make great displays because they will fit just about anywhere because of their small size. Favored by model railroaders Lionel is the top brand because of their quality and attention to detail.

There are other model train manufactures that build reproductions of the Polar Express and Tinplate Christmas trains. Two other top makers Athearn and Bachmann also make quality reproductions of the Christmas trains in all the popular N, G and O gauge model trains.

The O gauge scale model train has been with us for more than one hundred years. The top maker Lionel along with Bachmann, MTH and Norscot have model reproductions in the O gauge which it about twice the size of the N gauge HO models. Being much larger in size the setup and track layouts are simple to construct. The Christmas trains "Polar Express", "Old Tinplate" along with "Thomas and Friends" are available in wide variety. Available with very realistic sounds with passenger cars, the chocolate car, tenders and the Caboose the variety is sure to please the most discerning tastes.

Another interesting version is the G gauge or G scale sometimes referred to as the "Garden Scale" because it is larger and can be used outside. Advanced railroaders along with the beginners all love the G scale model trains if they have to space to set one up. The detail and quality is truly a sight to behold for people of all ages.

These wonderful Christmas train sets can always be purchased from the manufactures at the top retail prices and no matter what you pay either you or the railroader you buy it for will be pleased for years to come. In this economy many are looking for the best price available on these treasures. So we have provided the locations to get the best price all year for Polar Express and Christmas Tinplate Train sets in the three popular gauges N, O and G.
