Read on to find out more about choosing a Lionel Polar Express Train Set

Ever since the rise of the automobile and the airplane, it seemed like interest in model trains had been waning. As a train lover myself, the niche nature of my hobby seems all the more exclusive and special the less common it becomes, but there comes a point when you start to wish that you had a community of other enthusiasts to share your interests with.

Every once in awhile, some pop culture phenomenon will create an uptick for a niche hobby, and dedicated enthusiasts go from questioning their own sanity to serving as sages for all the new hobbyists that arise.

That’s the position I found myself in just a few short years ago with the release of The Polar Express into theaters. For those who didn’t see it, it was a fantastic and sweeping holiday tale involving a certain train engineered by Tom Hanks’ character, which shared a name with the film’s title.

The classic nature of the film and the fidelity of the train’s design to the grandiose constructions of the 19th century injected new life into the hobby, both for old purists like me, and for all the newly interested individuals who decided to join us for the ride.

For Starters

For anyone just starting out in the hobby, I always give this piece of advice first: the best new train for any beginner is going to be one from Lionel Trains. In fact, if you’re looking for a Lionel Polar Express train set, you’ve got a couple of options in front of you.

The Lionel Trains Polar Express train set O gauge and its larger G gauge counterparts are both very detailed functional replicas of the train from the film. Most sets also come with a railroad track on which to place your new train.

The G gauge is available with or without the track. The set which includes the track also contains a diorama with a scene from the film, a special treat especially for any who fell in love with the movie and are endeavoring into train collecting for the first time. Not only is it a quality train, but it will also serve as a memento for the future dedicated hobbyist to remember why he began collecting to begin with.

All trains are ready to roll right out of the box. Whether you purchased a set that included a track, or you already have a G-gauge track set up and ready to go, you can see your new train in action as soon as you remove the plastic. The trains either come with C batteries or one rechargeable battery, but can allow both, whether you decide to buy a rechargeable battery pack later down the road, or don’t intend on buying a new rechargeable battery once it wears out.

As an added treat for fans of the movie, the sets also come with figurines and other features that will remind you of your favorite scenes.

Whether you’ve been in this awhile like I have, or you’re just now indulging a fresh interest in trains, the Lionel Polar Express collection is definitely a winner, or a great gift for any enthusiasts you may know.
