In this video, you’ll get to see me unpacking the entire Hallmark Lionel ornament collection going back to 1996. You’ll also see all of my running Lionel rolling stock, including home movie footage from Christmas 1976 (45 years ago), when I got my first train.

That’s wonderful Kevin - I am not a Lionel guy (OK there are two boxes of cheap Lionel in the basement) but I do have a good many (hardly a complete set) of the Hallmark Lionel ornaments, plus all sorts of other train themed ornaments including some beautiful Polish glass ornaments of locomotives and railroad stations. One tree is totally trains, the other tree has things my wife likes: animals, nature themed ornaments, and photos of our cats.
Both are “real” trees and on the train tree all lights are red including a string I bought decades ago that look like railroad lanterns. Some of those Hallmark Lionel ornaments are so heavy that some years there is no branch strong enough to hold them all! I also have the little tiny Hallmark Lionels and they are placed on a window sill (praying that the cat does not find them interesting). Also I do all that decorating myself – maybe your resident elf can help me out some time? She sure works fast!
There are some beautiful little replicas in the Hallmark Lionel series.

Never mind. Can’t post photos AGAIN. [banghead]
Found another work around.
Thanks for the Christmas thread Peter[Y]
I didn’t like them separate ornaments so I wired them to a piece of track.

Good video Kevin. Thanks for sharing.
Nothing exotic, just a representation of a locomotive. Somewhere there is a Santa riding a loco, but can’t find it.
Keep the Christmas theme going guys.
Here are some of my past Christmas videos featuring a lot of the trains going around the trees.
