Bachmann G-Gauge Christmas Trains

Written by Paul D. Race for Family Garden Trains^TM

 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.
