There are two things that seem to be fundamental to evoke the Christmas spirit in children and adults, the beautiful Christmas story The Polar Express and a toy train. Now, can you imagine putting both of them together as a gift for a child? Any child would be happy with them. It has been done, with the Polar Express Train Set. For years, toy trains running around the base of the Christmas tree have been part of the tradition in the holydays, and surprisingly enough that´s something that didn´t change over time. It´s true that they don´t look like the black trains that were standard some time ago, but the emotion that kids feel while their train is moving in circles doing those sounds remains the same. Part of this tradition is the popular Christmas story The Polar Express. Children want to hear the story over and over again, especially in Christmas time. The Polar Express gained its popularity back in 2004, when the movie based on the Christmas story was released, after that every child relates the train and the story to Christmas.
Now the Polar Express train set is available, it´s design is really a great work made by the creator. The details shown in the train on the book and the movie are found in this replica. It includes a coal tender and three cars. The design is so well done that adults and children will enjoy watching this train looping around. Some amazing details have been considered also, people can be seen in the windows, there are a working headlight and some interior lights that work as well. A very realistic whistle makes its sound, which added to the other details makes of watching the Polar Express an amazing experience. But there is yet another detail, which could easily be the most charming one featured in this train set, a smoke fluid that added to the engine will make some real smoke come out of the train as it runs on the train track. All these elements combined will make the children happy, and will let all those emotions out, including yours when looking at the smiles in your kids mouths.
Some figures are included in the train set; they are based on the characters that appear in the movie. You can put this train set together very easily, but just keep in mind that it needs to be charged for a few hours first, otherwise it won´t work. It can be easily used by children seven and older; actually it was designed with kids around that age in mind. It can also operated by kids with a control that´s also included. This doesn´t mean that the train set is not a great Christmas gift for younger children, but adult supervision is strongly advised. With this very well done train set many hours entertainment are ensured. Kids from all ages and adults will feel the Christmas spirit in the air.
