2007 Lionel Holiday Tradition Express Set G-Gauge - LNL11000

An homage to the classic Lionel train sets, the fully animated Lionel Holiday Tradition Express is ready for a festive adventure this holiday season. Leading the way, the locomotive features bright Christmas lights, true-to-life train chuffing and steam whistles, and two of your favorite holiday tunes. Just behind the tender, the animated bell car is powered by two elves who crank the handles, swinging the bells into action. The animated work caboose carries Santa’s bag, and Santa stands waving at the rear of the train. With five separate animations, the Lionel Holiday Tradition Express is the train set your family will proudly display for years to come.
