Christmas Collectibles with Railroad Themes

This section is for unique railroad-related Christmas collectibles from designers such as Thomas Kinkade. At the moment we have fewer products listed than ever, since several we listed as late as August, 2006 are no longer available. This is another reminder that "limited edition" means "limited edition." We will be keeping our eye out, though, and adding products as we continue to find them.

This is their best effort, a 16"-high "tabletop" Christmas tree with three levels of animated trains. The trains travel past 12 brilliantly illuminated buildings and over 2 dozen handcrafted figures. The trains travel around precisely detailed structures and figures on three levels. Each intricately detailed holiday scenes is further enhanced with a blanket of glitter-touched snow.

Collectible Christmas Trains

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.
