A distinctive function of its paint scheme includes silhouettes of folk enjoying a hot drink in the windows of the coach car. The track is a rather big forty” x sixty” oval which makes it ideal for placement surrounding a Christmas tree or alternative location within your home as a holiday decoration.
The Lionel Polar Express set includes an air whistle, a headlight that actually works as well as a smoke stack that produces real smoke for the most realistic train possible.
