Lionel Polar Express

What trains do you use with your putzes? Do you try to match period? Color? Scale? Any other discussions regarding trains and putzes.

Lionel Polar Express

Post by paulrace »

I have been toying with a used one I got and I have to say, it's not a bad companion for ceramic or resin Christmas villages like Dept 56 and Lemax. The locomotive is very attractive and the coaches have a nice vintage "Baby Madison" look with a superb paint job. The current version with remote control and even Bluetooth is on sale right now on Amazon. It's currently a very good price compared to other sets in this price range.

The coaches also have "snow" and footprints on the roof, which the earlier versions didn't have. Here's a photo of the current version.

Here's the listing on Amazon. I don't know how long it will be available at this price.
