Product Description With beautiful craftsmanship and styling that evokes a bygone era, the Polar Express Train Set will appeal to everyone in your family. Designed for children ages eight and older, this train set is based on the Caldecott Award-winning book "Polar Express," and the movie that followed in 2004. The gorgeous train set is relatively easy to put together, although parents will probably need to supervise. Even kids younger than eight can enjoy the Polar Express, if parents help them with it. Now, you can own the ever popular Polar Express train from Lionel. Painstakingly designed to be true to the
original, this exclusive Lionel train set features a die-cast metal Berkshire steam locomotive with a new, larger
pilot, headlight lens cap and unique whistle. The engine and tender are painted in a dark, matte finish to complete
the image. Articulated figures with turning heads, movable arms, bendable waists and jointed knees are included. They can be posed and placed on areas of the locomotive, tender and passenger cars. Customer Reviews By buckeye mom (USA) Wow this was worth the hassle to find. We lucked out and got it at retail price and delivered before Christmas. This was my 6 yr old son's first "real" electric train. What a special train it is. The details are fantastic. Lionel out did themselves! The engine is sooo heavy and very well built. The passenger/observational cars were suprisingly light, but incredibly detailed, quite beautiful! Transformer is powerful, track easy to put together. The characters are to scale and he has placed in the train and they ride around sticking out the end of the cars and in the engine. Smoke stack works perfect. Everything is just great. I guess we have a train enthusiast now. He runs it every day... and is soooo proud of it. He is so careful with it and teaches all his friends all about it. Worth every penny. By Melody J. Behringer (Crestline, Ca.) I ordered this train set for my 2 and 4 year old grandsons. Actually, I think my son ( their father)wanted it more than the boys did. The train is made very well and the cars are big and strong enough for the boys to handle without worrying about breaking them. Of course, it still requires an adult to supervise. The controller for the engine is big and easy for little hands to operate. The track is excellent and fits together nicely. It does not fall apart. It is easy to place the train's wheels on the track. This is an expensive train, but is is well worth it and will be around for years of enjoyment. By William Henderson (Pilot Mountain, NC) This is an awesome train set. The fast-track layout is nice. The attention to detail, by Lionel, is unmatched. Be sure to check out my reviews for all the extra cars you can buy for this set. They make great additions to the train and the extra figurines, also available separately, look good placed at random areas around the track. This item will last for years and my grandson Ashton will get years of pleasure from it. Very pleased with the Polar Express Train Set. |
