The Polar Express
All aboard the Polar Express!
If the Polar Express conjures up images of hot chocolate, snow, family memories, and, of course, the famous train, then it could be time to add this collectible train to your collection. Whether you want it for the nostalgia, for Christmas decor, or to create new memories with kids and grandkids, then Lionel toy trains from All About Toy Trains is the solution.
The children’s book The Polar Express was written and illustrated by Chris Van Allsburg and published by Houghton Mifflin in 1985. Van Allsburg won the annual Caldecott Medal in 1986 for his illustration, which, of course, included beautiful illustrations of the train we’ve all come to know and love.
When it comes to classic train sets, the best train sets for adults, or collectible trains, the Polar Express is at the top of the list. In the book (and subsequent movie), this train reliably races over the mountains, through forests inhabited by wolves and rabbits, and never slows down on its route to the North Pole.
With the collection of Polar Express Lionel train sets from All About Toy Trains, you can capture that same magic and reliability in your own home. Our collector trains and accessories in this collection include everything from flag poles to barrel loaders, reindeer cars, boxcars, the disappearing hobo car, a gondola with presents, wolves and rabbits, and, of course, the young boy standing outside his house in a bathrobe.
