MERRY CHRISTMAS
« on: December 25, 2013, 05:42:11 »


Christmas and toy trains just seem to go together!
And, of course, Playmobil was no exception. In fact, one of the first RC train sets ever offered by Playmobil was Christmas train set 4035 (pictures attached).

Merry Christmas Playmofriends!

Merry Christmas to you, too, Richard, and thank you for posting those pictures. I've never seen that set complete before.

Merry Christmas to you too!  What a beautiful set.  When was it produced, and how rare is it?

Hello Kaethe,

I think that the Playmobil RC Christmas train (set 4035) was produced for the USA and CDN markets about the turn of the century (1999-2000).
There's an interesting article about this Christmas train (with lots of pictures) at this Spanish Playmobil forum: http://www.aesclick.com/public/index.php?topic=5036.0

And, Kathe, Gordon and George, hope y'all are enjoying this Christmas holiday in good health! ...  :xmascheer:

Merry Christmas,
Richard
