AND NOW A NEW POST FROM FAMILY GARDEN TRAINS(TM)---BACHMANN CHRISTMAS TRAINS

Thanks Paul Race for another entertaining and informative post!

Bachmann G-Gauge Christmas Trains

Written by Paul D. Race for Family Garden TrainsTM

 In this article, I'm using the phrase "Christmas Trains" to describe operating toy or model trains that are painted, labeled, and othewise designed with Christmas themes.

I first got interested in Christmas-themed trains in 2007-2008 when we started hosting Christmas-themed open railroads on our first iteration of the New Boston and Donnels Creek.

At the first event, we ran our "ordinary" trains - mostly AristoCraft Pennsylvania steam pulling freights or varnish of the same brand. They were great, and I doubt anyone cared that they were labeled "Pennsylvania" instead of, say, "North Star and Southern," one of Bachmann's favorite Christmas train labels.

But in the years following, I couldn't help notice some very cute - yes, that's the word - Christmas-themed offerings from several vendors. After careful shopping, I now own Christmas trains from AristoCraft, Lionel, and Bachmann. READ AND SEE MORE HERE.
