Winter is almost here, and Lionel is ready to roll into the season with a wonderful set of trains celebrating the snow, the cold, and the upcoming holiday season.
Few trains are as famous as the storied Polar Express, and Lionel is celebrating the 10th anniversary of the now-classic movie by releasing an assortment of new trains. You won't find a more iconic or recognizable railroad to add to your collection or winter wonderland layout this year. Keep reading for all the details and product photos straight from Lionel below.
New Product Spotlight – Polar Express Streamliner Passenger Set
In conjunction with the 10th anniversary of The Polar Express™ movie, Lionel is releasing several new trains and accessories in our Polar Express™ line.

I can't imagine a much more appealing color pattern on a train. The rich red and blue are perfect together, and make this train look wonderful whether rolling through the snow or around your Christmas tree. It might not be the classic steam engine we know and love, but the colors and the name and the story still come across beautifully in this streamliner. It looks good and comes with loads of features, so it might just be the ultimate model train gift this holiday season.
If you'd like to expand your Polar Express collection, keep an eye out for this train and others on the DASH Marketplace. You're already running out of time to finish up your holiday shopping!
