The Christmas Express

In 2002, MTH Electric Trains reproduced a very early (1925) Lionel Standard Gauge electric locomotive.  This model of the #10 was done in red and green for Christmas, with three matching cars, also reproductions of those from more than three-quarters of a century ago.  Together, the train was called The Christmas Express and came in a complete set with track and transformer.  This is worthy of note since this set was, as far as I know, the first ready-to-run Standard Gauge set in about 75 years!  As you can see in this True HD 1080p video, it's an absolutely exquisite train!  Standard Gauge trains generally came in two size categories, small and enormous, and these are from the small school.  Over the years, I've added the various add-on cars that MTH has brought out, and it makes for a really nice holiday train.  Be sure to listen in at the end to the special passenger sounds that this set came with!  🙂
