## Description

Night Before Christmas Ready To Run Electric Train Set - Large "G" Scale. Perhaps there is no other gift more fun to find under the Christmas tree than a brand new train. Delivering its promise of magic and delight is the Night Before Christmas train set. The Night Before Christmas comes complete with a 4-6-0 steam locomotive (with operating headlight, smoke and speed-synchronized sound), tender with coal load, gondola, bobber caboose, and Santa figure. Also included are a 5‘4” x 4‘3” oval of track (14 pieces), power pack. Large "G" Scale. Requires one 9V battery (sold separately).

Review: Amazing product took me a while to figure out how to connect them securely, which is very simple smoke unit smells like smoke which I love especially because it’s a model train
Review: This is great for the Christmas tree. Quality is good, very sturdy. I run it around the Christmas tree in the Winter, and it never gets stuck on pine Needles (it doesn't pick them up at all). Easy to set up, and able to withstand my two year old poking it in excitement, or driving it stop/go/stop style. I like the looks. Would recommend to anybody looking for a big train to use at Christmas time. Size is perfect. It could use a couple of extra straight track pieces, but you can buy them on desertcart for a minimal price.

*by Z***N on 3 December 2019*

I bought this to go around the Christmas tree. I was a little worried based on some of the bad reviews, but everything came fast and in perfect condition! I assembled the track and was up and running in 15 minutes. The locomotive and cars all are very detailed and realistic looking. The decor on the locomotive is a combination of metal and plastic parts, so be careful what you’re grabbing, but for anyone who understands that this is a model railroad, and not necessarily a “toy”, it’s a great value!
