For many Americans, model trains evoked sentimental feelings similar to the other emotions associated with Christmas. Christmas was a time when many people traveled long distances to reach home or to see relatives. Most of these journeys would involve a train ride. Likewise, the nation's railroads were a primary means of transporting packages around the country at Christmas time. Our Christmas Train Model is beautifully handmade out of iron and painted in red.
