Help me choose a holiday train to run next to our customized Polar Express around my small Xmas tree. Which one do you like best, A or B? There is no right or wrong answer, just personal preference. Smile

I love choice A, to be honest. Steam engines have their own personal elegance that some diesels might never have, but choice B is also a handsome looking holiday train.

Hmm... I'm voting for Choice A before I change my mind. Clever idea!

My vote is for A
Love the idea of Micky and a western running along side the Polar Express underneath your tree.

Thanks Hank, Geris and Nickel. Normally I don't get into the holidays this early but because of purchasing a lot of this stuff from over seas I wanted to make sure I have enough time to get whatever I need.

i vote A, but knowing some of the backstory of B, i say alternate them every couple of nights. Big Grin

I'd say A, those little locos look great! I have a book about a local company that used to make locos from 1800 onward, they made lots of different sorts including some for America and South America, these little disney trains remind me of the wood burning locos they made for Chile

Thank you Tramp

I agree with liking these Wood Burning Steamers. They were prevalent in the American wild west to. Take a look at this beauty with its wooden cab. They were so ornate back in those days especially the wooden coaches with their beautifully crafted interiors.
