Product Description
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.

Following the locomotive and tender are two lighted coach cars. The observation car features a new rounded observation deck. Silhouettes in the windows depict passengers, and the joyful coach car is where the kids get their fill of hot chocolate and candy. A 40" x 60" oval track completes the set.

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.

  • Transformer controlled forward, neutral and reverse operation

1 out of 5 stars Terrible track   May 3, 2008
 0 out of 2 found this review helpful

With the slightest touch, the track falls out of place. Spend the extra money, and purchase the "O" gauge train set by Lionel. It is a much better product, and your kids will have enjoy it much more than its plastic "G" gauge" counterpart.



5 out of 5 stars Good Solid Train Set   April 6, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

It's fun watching those wheels and drive rods turn and listening to the clickety clack of the metal wheels on the metal rails. With the Fast Track system it is easier to make good track connections. The engine is nicely detailed, heavy and stable. After checking out some other train prices, I think this train is fairly priced. No significant problems after a month's usage.


4 out of 5 stars My son really likes it   February 10, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

My son really likes it, I just hope it is built to last a lifetime like prior American made Lionel trains. For being a China product it is very expensive. The engine afer some use doesn't start up as smoothly as it did out of the box and it doesn't seem to go as fast for the same amount of power. I hope this isn't a sign of poor quality...


5 out of 5 stars Great train set   January 28, 2008
We really like the set - it's very hearty, nicely presented, great paint, strong and appears long-lasting. The only thing we didn't like was the sound, so we jumped through a few hoops and found a separate kit elsewhere and custom installed it ourselves. Truly awesome now!!!


5 out of 5 stars Excellent Build Quality-Truly As Advertised-Highly Recommend   December 14, 2007
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Purchased 2 weeks ago. Train locomotive is very heavy and feels solid. The train has a whistle that is incredible and puffs of smoke that fill living room. The track took 15 minutes to place on tile floor and train placed on quite easily. My 3 year old daughter gazed with awe for a few hours. This is a high quality Lionel train set with a fine build quality. No regrets. I have been using it nightly on timers with christmas tree without any problems. Paid $236 with shipping-money well spent. The train comes with 4 figurines that you can place on train, locomotive and coal car with 3 cars, brass bell(nice touch) and track. 5 stars-Wife Very Happy
