Christmas Collectibles with Railroad Themes

This section is for unique railroad-related Christmas collectibles from designers such as Thomas Kinkade. We actually had more products when we started the page than we do now, since several products we started out with are are no longer available. The good news is that we keep getting a couple good new products a year to post here each year. However, remember that "limited edition" means "limited edition." So if you see something that really appeals to you, don't wait too long to make your choice.

Update for 2011 - Several of our favorite items disappeared within the last several months. The good news is that a few nice items have taken their place. Be sure to scroll all the way down. And if you see something you like don't wait too long to order. Here's a hint, the items near the top of the page have been here the longest, so those are the most likely to run out this year.

Collectible Christmas Trains and Towns

For maximum charm! Order now for maximum enjoyment! Hawthorne Village(tm) features a collection of "On30" trains that are designed specifically to look good with Holiday Village sets, such as those by Dept. 56, Hawthorne Village, etc. Many contain artwork and other detailing created by painters and designers such as Thomas Kinkade and Al Agnew. They are also large enough to look good around your Christmas tree. For your convenience, they run on HO track, so they will fit just about anywhere.
The Hawthorne Village trains use reliable mechanisms and other parts from Bachmann On30 trains, so they run like "champs," and service will always be available. But the Hawthorne Village designers add artwork and other detailing that make these trains much more attractive and collectable. In spite of the fact that they are limited-edition, subscription trains, they are also an excellent value (and our best sellers every Christmas season). New trains are constantly being added, as well, so check back often. Still, it's never too early to consider signing up for the one you like while it is still available.
