The Christmas Connection

This is the classic heirloom-quality animated holiday train set manufactured by Lionel, the foremost name in electric toy trains since 1900, when Joshua Lionel Cowen established the Lionel Manufacturing Company and designed his first model for a toy store display. This meticulously detailed set includes a locomotive that "chuffs" and whistles, as well as a coal tender, bell car, and caboose, each of which is manned by animated elves that shovel coal, turn a crank and swing a mallet to play bells, and pack presents. An animated Santa stands at the end of the caboose and waves. The included infrared remote control operates the train and plays Santa's holiday greeting, rings the bells, sounds the whistle, and plays Jingle Bells and Here Comes Santa Claus. Each piece is decorated with holiday garland and bright white lights. Cars are connected using fixed-knuckle couplers and the wheels are die-cast metal. Includes 12 curved and four straight pieces of G-gauge track that can be configured as a 52" diameter circle or a 65" diameter oval. Includes transformer that plugs into AC. (25 lbs.)
