Hello,

I am not a toy train enthusiast, but I saw a friend of mine had posted here and took a look.

That movie may become one of those seasonal "cult flicks," as it was a very well done production. Must admit, those kinds of movies normally are not for me, but I caught it on a trans Atlantic flight and it is a very entertaining work.

Nicely done!

BK

laz57 "Fun" is the operative word ...... I like to turn out the trainrom lights and run 'em in the dark with only the blue lighting from the "rope lights" casting a glow upward against the "night sky" background. The illuminated PE looks really "cool" in that setting. Now that's fun! [tup][swg]

pbjwilson Thanx! These Lionel sets and extra cars really fit quite well into the theme of the movie. Not at all sorry that it graces my trainroom "upper level." [swg]

Looks great! Love the colors of the Polar Express, especially with the interior illumination.
