Australia's Most Amazing RangeThere's something unforgettable about the gentle whir of an animated Christmas train set circling the tree, a scene that takes you straight back to the heart of childhood wonder. Whether you remember one from Nan and Pop's lounge room or you've always dreamed of having your own, Christmas train sets are a bold and nostalgic centrepiece that brings movement and magic to your festive decorating. With roots going back to the 1940s, these charming sets became part of the Christmas tradition thanks to their emotional pull and ability to capture the imagination - especially for kids. Inspired by the iconic Pere Marquette 1225 steam locomotive, a class "N-1" 2-8-4 "Berkshire" type engine first built in 1941, today's Christmas train sets continue to inspire generations with a blend of old-school glamour and festive fun.
Each train set includes everything you need to get rolling straight out of the box. They're crafted from lightweight, durable plastic, operate on batteries, and are designed for indoor use only. The range includes themed favourites like the Santa Express, Polar Express and Christmas Express - each one adding a fresh and sophisticated touch to your seasonal scene. Some are made to run around the base of your Christmas tree, while one unique set is designed to go in the tree itself, offering a dazzling, animated twist on the classic setup.
You'll find all the key parts in each product: the locomotive, carriages such as coal, passenger, boxcars and caboose, and in many sets, extras like working headlamps, puffing smokestacks, classic train noises and animated cargo carriages. These moving details create a rejuvenating sense of energy and animation that brings your entire decor to life. Whether you're styling your train to run alongside a Christmas village or nestling it among faux snow blankets and garlands, the result is a storybook-like scene that feels both refreshing and deeply nostalgic.
Perfect for families, collectors, or any train-loving kidult, these toy train sets suit children over 3 years of age and are built for easy assembly, simple storage, and hassle-free maintenance. Their size and flexibility make them ideal for small lounge rooms, under trees, or even across a tabletop. Styling tips? Place your set near the tree with soft lighting, a blanket of faux dacron snow, and a few festive figurines to build your own charming Christmas world. These products naturally pair with traditional, rustic, whimsical or even daring modern decorating themes.
If you're tossing up between a train set and a Christmas village, why not combine both? The moving train adds a dynamic centrepiece that enhances your village display - bringing light, sound and motion to what might otherwise be static decor. It's a match made in Christmas heaven.
